Biography
Ana Aliverti is Assistant Professor at the School of Law, University of Warwick.
"One of Aliverti’s objectives is to better engage criminal law scholars in migration studies. In particular, she wishes to broaden out the traditional focus of criminal law theory on the idea of the citizen as the main recipient of state protection and punishment, so that it can better reflect the changes brought about by globalization. As someone without a legal background, I found Aliverti’s perspective to be both valuable and informative. Her book… provides both welcome empirical data and theoretical understanding about the criminalization of migration."
Hindpal Singh Bhui, HM Inspectorate of Prisons, UK, Theoretical Criminology
"This book is an excellent study of the intersections between immigration and criminal law and a valuable read for criminologists, socio-legal and migration studies scholars."
Karine Côté-Boucher, University of Montreal, Punishment and Society
