Tout en essayant de mettre en lumière les logiques et les procédés de la construction médiatique de la figure de « l’immigré délinquant », elle suggère que c’est la mise en place d’un tel processus, appuyé sur une superposition des menaces sécuritaire et culturelle, qui représente de multiples dangers pour les sociétés d’accueil.
