With over 240 million migrants in the world, including over 65
million forced migrants and refugees, states have turned to
draconian measures to stem the flow of irregular migration,
including the criminalization of migration itself. Canada,
perceived as a nation of immigrants and touted as one of the most
generous countries in the world today for its reception of
refugees, has not been immune from these practices. This book
examines "crimmigration" - the criminalization of migration - from
national and comparative perspectives, drawing attention to the
increasing use of criminal law measures, public policies, and
practices that stigmatize or diminish the rights of forced migrants
and refugees within a dominant public discourse that not only
stereotypes and criminalizes but marginalizes forced migrants.
Leading researchers, legal scholars, and practitioners provide
in-depth analyses of theoretical concerns, legal and public policy
dimensions, historic migration crises, and the current dynamics and
future prospects of crimmigration. The editors situate each chapter
within the existing migration literature and outline a way forward
for the decriminalization of migration through the vigorous
promotion and advancement of human rights. Building on recent
legal, policy, academic, and advocacy initiatives, The
Criminalization of Migration maps how the predominant trend toward
the criminalization of migration in Canada and abroad can be
reversed for the benefit of all, especially those forced to migrate
for the protection of their inherent human rights and dignity.
