In this event, Matilde Rosina will discuss her new book on the criminalisation of irregular migration in Europe.
It will explore the meaning, purpose, and consequences of criminalising unauthorised entry and stay. Using Italy and France as case studies, it will argue that criminalisation has no effect on migratory flows, and that this is due to factors including the latter’s structural determinants and the likely creation of substitution effects.
