This book provides a unique analysis of prisons and the violence at
work inside them. It not only addresses aspects such as racial
discrimination, especially in US prisons, but also gender
differences, specific criminal groups operating within prisons, the
reintegration processes and its failures. Combining works by
various authors, it presents diverse perspectives on prison
violence: in countries ranging from the USA to Australia, crossing
European countries such as Portugal and Spain, among others, but
also specific aspects such as prohibitions on phone calls, the
economic crisis, and the current challenges of mass incarceration.
As such, it offers a broad overview of several problems relevant to
all scholars interested in deepening their understanding of
violence in prisons.

This book offers a brand new point of view on immigration
detention, pursuing a multidisciplinary approach and presenting new
reflections by internationally respected experts from academic and
institutional backgrounds. It offers an in-depth perspective on the
immigration framework, together with the evolution of European and
international political decisions on the management of immigration.
Readers will be introduced to new international decisions on the
protection of human rights, together with international measures
concerning the detention of immigrants. In recent years,
International Law and European Law have converged to develop
measures for combatting irregular immigration. Some of them include
the criminalization of illegally entering a member state or
illegally remaining there after legally entering. Though migration
has become a great challenge for policymakers, legislators and
society as a whole, we must never forget that migrants should enjoy
the same human rights and legal protection as everyone else.

This book offers a brand-new perspective on human trafficking as an
illegal business. It also proposes a new form of networked action:
combining the perspectives of academic researchers with those of
highly skilled professionals involved in policymaking in this area,
this book is a unique contribution and a first step toward a
networking paradigm, promoting collaboration in preventing and
combating human trafficking crime, and in raising awareness of this
ongoing problem. This book was born within the CINETS group -
Crimmigration Control International Net of Studies
(www.crimmigrationcontrol.com), which was established in 2011 with
the aim of bringing together expertise from different fields,
professions, universities and countries. It aims to form a new
paradigm for sharing knowledge and advancing research on topics
related to human trafficking, crimmigration control, immigration
and crime, immigrant detention and all types of violence that may
affect victims of crimes, helping to create a fairer society.
