Beschreibung

This book offers a contemporary understanding of the state of the art of "crimmigration" with a focus on the European Union and challenges this paradigm of intersecting criminal justice and immigration control.

The contributions to this book explore the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of EU and national policies intertwining criminal and migration law, as well as their practical use (and abuse). They analyse migration control through criminal law from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, incorporating insights from law, philosophy, and criminology. The book revisits fundamental questions on the suitability of criminal law to regulate and govern migration and provides insights as to whether and how the law should be amended to limit the negative consequences of the criminalisation of migration. The authors critique the key legal challenges crimmigration poses in terms of legality, fundamental rights, and rule of law adherence. Finally, this volume outlines, through concrete examples, how criminalisation of migration translates into the emergence of hostile environments for migrants and those who assist them.

This book will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists, legal scholars, and all those engaged in studies on migration and the European Union.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This outstanding edited volume, gathering contributions from top specialists, brings EU migration law and EU criminal law in conversation with each other, delivering a thorough and topical exploration of the (ab)uses of criminal justice mechanisms for migration enforcement purposes, combining legal-doctrinal, theoretical, and socio-legal insights. It makes a critical contribution to ongoing debates, pushing the limits of "crimmigration" research in key ways that will remain influential for years to come.

Violeta Moreno-Lax, Professor, ICREA-Universitat de Barcelona & Queen Mary University of London

This insightful and thought-provoking edited volume critically examines the intersection of criminal justice and immigration control in the EU. Offering a compelling analysis of crimmigration, it highlights its profound legal, ethical, and human rights implications. A must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone concerned with justice, migration, and fundamental rights.

Anne Weyembergh, Professor and Vice-Rector of Universite libre de Bruxelles (ULB) for External Relations and Development Cooperation

In many parts of the world, not least in the European Union, criminal law is increasingly used as an additional tool to regulate and govern migration. The contributors to this volume explore the many facets of this policy development and offer a cogently critical account from an interdisciplinary perspective.
