Reviews

A field that remains underresearched is the crossroads of different legal areas and practices. This makes Policing Undocumented Migrants: Law, Violence and Responsibility a welcome contribution, both theoretically and empirically. This book is of general interest for research trying to understand what migration law tells police and immigration officers to do in the name of `justice', and its unintended and often unseen consequences... Four case studies examine the complex practices of illegalization, which have become routine in the everyday activities of diverse institutions and legislative frameworks as well as in their intersection. Although the context is Australian, there are many lessons to be learned from a Northern European standpoint... Policing Undocumented Migrants, as I see it, is an excellent illustration of a legal cartographic analysis... Social & Legal Studies (2018) 27(5) 661-664
