The Routledge Handbook on Crime and International Migration is
concerned with the various relationships between migration, crime
and victimization that have informed a wide criminological
scholarship often driven by some of the original lines of inquiry
of the Chicago School. Historically, migration and crime came to be
the device by which Criminology and cognate fields sought to tackle
issues of race and ethnicity, often in highly problematic ways.
However in the contemporary period this body of scholarship is
inspiring scholars to produce significant evidence that speaks to
some of the biggest public policy questions and debunks many
dominant mythologies around the criminality of migrants.
The Routledge Handbook on Crime and International Migration is
also concerned with the theoretical, empirical and policy knots
found in the relationship between "regular" and "irregular"
migration, offending and victimization, the processes and impact of
criminalization, and the changing role of criminal justice systems
in the regulation and enforcement of international mobility and
borders. The "Handbook" is focused on the migratory fault lines
between the Global North and Global South, which have produced new
or accelerated sites of state control, constructed irregular
migration as a crime and security problem, and mobilized
ideological and coercive powers usually reserved for criminal or
military threats.
Offering a strong international focus and comprehensive coverage
of a wide range of border, criminal justice and migration-related
issues, this book is an important contribution to criminology and
migration studies and will be essential reading for academics,
students and practitioners interested in this field."
