While state authorities condemn such facilitation as \"people smuggling\" and advocate for its criminalization, the book's central focus revolves around the pressing need for unauthorized passages for asylum seekers and the detrimental consequences of criminalizing \"people smuggling\" for both facilitators and asylum seekers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon court verdicts and extensive interviews with convicted facilitators and law enforcement officials in Indonesia, the book offers a unique and holistic perspective on the causes, conditions, procedures, and intricacies surrounding the facilitation of irregularized maritime journeys between Indonesia and Australia, spanning nearly four decades. It meticulously examines the micro-level operational and place-specific characteristics of people smuggling, as well as the far-reaching consequences of anti-people-smuggling policies in Indonesia. By bridging the gap between the macroenvironment, encompassing relevant legal, political, social, and economic factors, and the specific conditions of irregularized mobility, the book sheds light on the complex interplay between these factors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to other Global North states, Australia has purportedly achieved greater success in its comprehensive approach to eliminating unauthorized migration at sea by employing a combination of punitive, communicative-preventive, and interceptive measures. However, this book challenges key achievements and objectives in criminalizing the facilitation of irregularized migration by highlighting the numerous negative side effects that have resulted from the \"stopping the boats\" policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds significant appeal to researchers specializing in anthropology, sociology, law, and criminology. Its in-depth analysis and comprehensive coverage of the topic provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of irregular migration, the role of state authorities, and the human consequences of policies aimed at managing migration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032078496\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AntjeMissbach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179434467578,"sku":"9781032078496","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_5ef07755-e666-4102-b38d-77a9a6435587.jpg?v=1707753657","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-criminalisation-of-people-smuggling-in-indonesia-and-australia-asylum-out-of-reach-9781032078496","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
