Extractions: In many refugee communities, crime and victimization can occur when refugees' cultures and traditions clash with United States laws. Misunderstanding on the part of the refugees about this country's laws and the role of law enforcement may lead to unintentional crimes or unwillingness to cooperate with the police. Misunderstandings on the part of law enforcement about refugee cultures can further the gap between refugees and police, and prevent refugees from learning about vital services available to them. It is therefore important that a refugee's first interaction with law enforcement be a positive experience.
