RT Book T1 Migrant smuggling and the criminalisation of migration in the EU: policies and practices from Italy T2 European administrative governance A1 Alagna, Federico LA English PP Cham, Switzerland PB Palgrave Macmillan YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/191308602X AB "This book examines migrant smuggling and migration governance in the European Union. Following the so-called 'refugee crisis' of 2014-15 and the rise in the number of people crossing the Mediterranean Sea, growing concern has been expressed in the media and elsewhere as to how EU institutions have tackled migrant smuggling. Focusing particularly on Italy during the period of the Eighth European Parliament (2014-19), the book assesses the evolution of anti-smuggling policies at EU and national level, and considers why institutions and policy-makers have failed to fully address the issue. Adopting a bottom-up approach, it also analyses the roles that people on the move, smugglers, law enforcers, the judiciary and border guards play in influencing policy processes. With political and public debates over migration more vociferous than ever, the book provides important insights into the EU approach to migrant smuggling. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, migration studies, European politics and criminology." -- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN JV8133 SN 3031625692 SN 9783031625695 K1 Human smuggling : European Union countries K1 Human smuggling : Italy K1 illegal immigration : European Union countries K1 illegal immigration : Italy K1 Criminology K1 Trafic de migrants - Pays de l'Union européenne K1 Trafic de migrants - Italie K1 Immigration clandestine - Pays de l'Union européenne K1 Immigration clandestine - Italie K1 Criminologie K1 Italy : Emigration and immigration : Government policy K1 Italien : Europäische Union : Internationale Migration : Menschenschmuggel : Illegale Einwanderung : Gesetz : Geschichte 2014-2019
