In this frightening moment of rising authoritarian nationalism – where despotic leaders mobilize fear and resentment by equating migration and crime – it is incumbent upon scholars committed to protecting human rights and facilitating genuine democracy to decipher exactly what’s happening and why. In this regard, Robert Koulish and Maartje van der Woude have done their duty: They’ve assembled a team of top-notch contributors who elucidate the scope, origins, and often-deadly consequences of crimmigration policies and politics in Europe and the United States. This book and its lessons are essential.---Jamie Longazel, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, author of Undocumented Fears: Immigration and the Politics of Divide and Conquer in Hazleton, Pennsylvania --- In this timely volume, Professors Koulish and Van der Woude bring together a diverse array of scholarly voices to eludicate the mechanisms and consequences of national migration management policies reliant on the punitive mechanisms of the criminal law and the militarized force of the security state. The authors collectively reveal the global scope of this policy trend, and the dangers that it holds for human dignity and democratic self-determination.---Jennifer M. Chacón, UCLA School of Law
