This book introduces 25 examples of good practices of cooperation between immigrants, the police and social work in five European countries: Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. As the number of immigrants increases, a successful integration process is essential to the cohesion of the host societies. In our view, integration is a dynamic two-way process involving both the immigrants and the host society, with accountabilities and responsibilities for both sides. This book illustrates that the cooperation between the immigrants, police and social work may not only increase the quality of life in immigrant communities, but can make the work of the professionals of both occupational groups more rewarding. The practice-oriented book can be recommended especially to the police and social work professionals who wish to widen their perspectives internationally, as well as to any individuals interested in the questions of multiprofessional working methods, integration and cultural diversity. The collection of the good practices has been completed as part of the “Immigrants, Police and Social Work” project, co-financed by the European Union under the European Integration Fund Community Actions for 2008. ; Introduction / Hugh McLaughlin, Henny Reubsaet and Sari Vanhanen Immigrants, Police and Social Work Finland: Immigrants, Police and Social Work – Good Practices in Finland / Riikka Susi and Elli Heikkilä The Netherlands: The Dutch Approach; Working Together for Liveable Communities / Jolanda Berends, Manon Danker and Henny Reubsaet Spain: Developing Synergies for Integration / Emilio José Gómez Ciriano, Mari Paz García Longoria, Esther Bodalo Lozano, María del Carmen Carbonell Cutillas, Myriam Gutiérrez Zornoza, Manuel Jesús Maldonado Lozano and Ana Isabel Vázquez Cañete Sweden: Practices for Generating Integration and Inclusion / Jan Carle, Hanna Wikström, Charlotte Melander and Peter Backenfall The United Kingdom: Immigration, Policing and Social Work: The UK Perspective / Hugh McLaughlin ...
