This book examines the migration of women as gendered subjects to
and from Turkey, using feminist research practices to explore a
range of diverse experiences of migrant women as refugees, asylum
seekers, undocumented or documented migrants. The collection
includes contributions from researchers, practitioners, and
migrants themselves to present a nuanced analysis that challenges
binary divisions between 'forced' and 'voluntary' migrants and
highlights the political and social agency of refugee and migrant
women in Turkey. Drawing on a rich body of original empirical and
theoretical research the volume explores recent policy change in
Turkey, the political and social influences that have shaped
migration policy (both internally and globally), and how women
migrants have been positioned within its changing refugee and
migration regimes. Analysis of the Turkish experience of
redesigning migration policy in a country with weak civil
protection against gender discrimination provides important
lessons, in particular for countries in the Global South that are
under pressure from the Global North to control and manage migrant
flows. This interdisciplinary volume offers gender-sensitive
recommendations for policymakers and practitioners and will advance
global debates on migration management and governance across the
fields of sociology, social policy, anthropology, labour economics
and political science.
The popular imagination of marriage migration has been influenced
by stories of marriage of convenience, of forced marriage,
trafficking and of so-called mail-order brides. This book presents
a uniquely global view of an expanding field that challenges these
and other stereotypes of cross-border marriage.
Tabloid headlines such as 'Anti-social Feral Youth,' 'Vile Products
of Welfare in the UK' and 'One in Four Adolescents is a Criminal'
have in recent years obscured understanding of what social justice
means for young people and how they experience it. Youth
marginality in Britain offers a new perspective by promoting young
people's voices and understanding the agency behind their actions.
It explores different forms of social marginalisation within media,
culture and society, focusing on how young people experience social
discrimination at a personal and collective level. This collection
from a wide range of expert contributors showcases contemporary
research on multiple youth deprivation of personal isolation,
social hardship, gender and ethnic discrimination and social
stigma. With a foreword from Robert MacDonald, it explores the
intersection of race, gender, class, asylum seeker status and care
leavers in Britain, placing them in the broader context of
austerity, poverty and inequality to highlight both change and
continuity within young people's social and cultural identities.
This timely contribution to debates concerning youth austerity in
Britain is suitable for students across youth studies, sociology,
education, criminology, youth work and social policy.

"This British artist constructs meticulous works that pay homage to
the utopian visions of modernist architects" Elle Deco
Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective, and one grounded in human
rights, Unaccompanied young migrants explores in-depth the journeys
migrant youths take through the UK legal and care systems. Arriving
with little agency, what becomes of these children as they grow and
assume new roles and identities, only to risk losing legal
protection as they reach eighteen? Through international studies
and crucially the voices of the young migrants themselves, the book
examines the narratives they present and the frameworks of culture
and legislation into which they are placed. It challenges existing
policy and questions, from a social justice perspective, what the
treatment of this group tells us about our systems and the cultural
presuppositions on which they depend.

Women are among the hardest individuals to trace through the
historical record and this is especially true of female offenders
who had a vested interest in not wanting to be found. That is why
this thought-provoking and accessible handbook by Lucy Williams and
Barry Godfrey is of such value. It looks beyond the crimes and the
newspaper reports of women criminals in the Victorian era in order
to reveal the reality of their personal and penal journeys, and it
provides a guide for researchers who are keen to explore this
intriguing and neglected subject. The book is split into three
sections. There is an introduction outlining the historical context
for the study of female crime and punishment, then a series of
real-life case studies which show in a vivid way the complexity of
female offenders' lives and follows them through the penal system.
The third section is a detailed guide to archival and online
sources that readers can consult in order to explore the
life-histories of criminal women. The result is a rare combination
of academic guide and how-to-do-it manual. It introduces readers to
the latest research in the field and it gives them all the
information they need to carry out their own research.
