This captivating book delves into the intricate realm of criminalizing irregular migration in Europe, offering a comprehensive exploration of its meaning, purpose, and far-reaching consequences. Through a theoretical lens, it sheds light on the persistent nature of irregular migration, despite governments' efforts to deter it through various measures. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws upon international political economy and criminology to unravel the complexities of this phenomenon.

In its examination, the book employs Italy and France as case studies, utilizing previously unreleased data and insightful interviews to provide a rich and nuanced perspective. It argues forcefully that criminalization has little to no impact on migratory flows, primarily due to the interplay of structural determinants and the potential emergence of substitution effects. Furthermore, the book highlights the adverse consequences of criminalization, emphasizing its role in perpetuating vicious cycles of irregularity and insecurity within societies.

This thought-provoking work not only contributes to our understanding of the complexities surrounding irregular migration but also raises important questions about the efficacy of criminalization as a policy tool. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and advocates alike, as it provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with addressing this global issue.
