The conundrum of issues when examining crime and migration makes for a bitterly complex and intriguing set of debates, and one of the most discussed areas of research in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this compelling account, Dario Melossi provides an authoritative take on the theory and research examining the connection of crime and migration. It takes a socio-historical and criminological approach to address the core questions of migrants' criminal behaviour and the processing of undocumented individuals in the criminal justice systems in the last twenty years. Written for students, academics and researchers with an interest in the topic, the book will appeal to individuals in a range of disciplines from criminology and sociology to politics, international relations, geography, social policy and development.
