In this study, we examine Russian millennials’ attitudes toward migrants—an estimated 10 million legal and four million illegal migrants, who work in construction, service, and retail industries.

Several important shifts in the rationale and logic of crime control have led to a growth in regulatory practices and an expansion of regulatory provisions.

We argue that the expansion of the boun…
