Gamino reveals how the concept of race functions within a predominantly Latino-origin community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGamino unpacks the interplay between local police, federal immigration officials, and civilians as they encounter immigration. \u003ci\u003eEnforcing Order on the Border \u003c\/i\u003eillustrates how institutional practices such as immigration enforcement occur on the South Texas-Mexico borderlands as collaborative eff orts between local police and the U.S. Border Patrol from an institutional perspective. Consequently, this collaborative eff ort in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands creates a distinctive method of policing, which he tellingly refers to as \"constitution-free policing.\" Gamino provides a unique perspective on how the concept of race in a predominantly Latino-origin community complicates intraracial\/intraethnic relations on the South Texas-Mexico borderlands.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eERIC GAMINO is an associate professor of criminology and justice studies at California State University, Northridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47584698204381,"sku":"9780820373935","price":48.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/nf6qnCXQbF9780820373935.webp?v=1773620275","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/enforcing-order-on-the-border-race-policing-and-immigration-enforcement-in-south-texas-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
