Pushing and expanding the boundaries of the 'criminology of the other' and 'enemy penology' to the post-sentencing phase, this study aims to analyse parole for terror-related prisoners. For doing so, the study thematically analysed 207 decisions of the Israeli parole board for individuals labelled as 'security prisoners'. It found that for security prisoners, the parole board employs a distorted version of the more discretionary-individualised logic that applies to ordinary prisoners. When performing such 'enemy parole' – and overwhelmingly denying parole to security prisoners – the parole board uses three conflicting discourses: security-group logic, responsibilisation and resentencing. Through these discourses, the parole board negotiates the categories of self/other and citizen/enemy in order to suspend the reintegrative components of 'citizen parole'. In conclusion, 'enemy parole' is constructed as an exclusionary, punitive and exceptional process disguised as inclusionary, equal and legitimate.

The treatment of Arab Americans in the US following the September 11 (2001) terrorist attacks is investigated; specific attention is directed toward exploring public opinion of Arab Americans & government policies that have affected them. Although several government officials denounced the employment of racial profiling to expose suspected terrorists, it is noted that the Bush administration supported preemptive attacks against certain nations & groups. Moreover, it is contended that certain high-ranking officials have actually supported the implementation of racial profiling, the detainment of suspected terrorists, & severe reductions in immigration numbers from certain nations following the September 11 (2001) attacks. In addition, 20th-century citizenship legislation is analyzed to demonstrate how Arab Americans are not categorized as "white persons" yet were denied their own ethnic minority category. It is concluded that domestic & international racial profiling must be repudiated to challenge the further racialization of Arab Americans & other ethnic minority groups. J. W. Parker
