Introduction: The Criminalization of Migration and European (Dis)Integration
2016
This Special Issue of European Journal of Migration and Law is devoted to analysing some relevant facets of the conflict, which we see at the heart of the current European approach to migration, between criminalization of migrants and migrants’ rights. But it is also devoted to outlining some strategies and practices through which the conflict might be avoided, or at least overridden. The papers focus on different facets of this overarching subject by adopting a European (EU and ECHR) perspective, as well as the perspective of specific MSs. Three domestic systems, in particular, are taken into consideration—the UK, France and Italy—and compared with the relevant European standards concernin…
Immigration Detention and Rule of Law in Italy
2013
Immigration detention challenges the principles of Rule of Law. Illustrating Italian law, case-law and legal practice on Administrative Detention, this research paper contributes to the discussion on common European guiding principles, called 'safeguarding principles' in the context of a funded research project led by researchers of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law
Lessons learnt from TB screening in closed immigration centres in Italy
2016
Background Between June 2012 and December 2013 Médecins Sans Frontières launched a pilot project with the aim of testing a strategy for improving timely diagnosis of active pulmonary TB among migrants hosted in four centres of identification and expulsion (CIE) in Italy. Methods This is a descriptive study. For active TB case finding we used an active symptom screening approach among migrants at admission in four CIE's. Here we describe the feasibility and the yield of this programme. Results Overall, 3588 migrants were screened, among whom 87 (2.4%) had a positive questionnaire. Out of 30 migrants referred for further investigations, three were diagnosed as having TB, or 0.1% out of 3588 i…
"A Detenção administrativa dos Estrangeiros irregulares na Itália e na União Europeia e o Direito humano fundamental à Liberdade privada e à ampla De…
2014
Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente nos últimos anos o fenômeno da "detenção administrativa" dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais ou inform…
Crescere in IPM. Il trattamento dei giovani adulti autori di reato
2017
Il trattamento dei giovani adulti all’interno delle strutture penitenziarie minorili, in seguito all’emanazione del D.L. 92/14 convertito in legge nel mese di agosto dello stesso anno, impone una riflessione e un’analisi sulle opportune modalita trattamentali non solo per i soggetti minorenni ma anche per giovani adulti tra i 18 e i 25 anni. Confrontarsi, infatti, con l’esigenza di rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni di una nuova tipologia di utenza e il principale compito dell’educatore penitenziario che necessita di programmi di formazione per acquisire competenze specifiche e costruire idonei percorsi trattamentali. Questi, se dotati di senso e rispondenti alle necessita di crescita d…
Factors in Assessing Recidivism Risk in Young Offenders
2020
The research aims to identify if the accumulation of protective and/or risk factors might predict the risk of recidivism in juvenile delinquents and determine the relative weight of both types of factors in the predictions themselves. The risk of criminal recidivism was assessed with the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth&mdash
Resisting Immigration Detention
2016
The aim of this article is to provide a normative analysis of the ways in which immigrants resist immigration detention. After having outlined (in Section 2) some general features that make immigration detention a rather abnormal condition for human beings to be kept in, I distinguish three main forms of resistance to it: institutionalized, non-institutionalized, and anti-institutional. I first spell out, in Section 3, some individual characteristics of these forms of resistance. Then (in Sections 4 and 5), using Italy as my test case, I suggest, for each of these forms, an interpretation of their normative meaning (that is, their meaning according to both the relevant legal rules and their…
The Long Route Towards a Widespread European Culture of Alternatives to Immigration Detention
2016
The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the application by some European Union countries of alternative measures to detention of migrants. Sections 2 and 3 indicate, in line with European normatives and with detention being a measure of last resort, that Member States having ascertained that there are grounds for the detention of migrants, should evaluate whether the aims pursued can be achieved through a less coercive measure which respects the fundamental rights of individuals. Unfortunately, as examined in Section 4, analysis of most European countries’ law reveals an unsatisfactory application of alternative measures to detention. As in, for example, Italy’s case, whose leg…
