La tratta di esseri umani: la politica criminale multilivello e la problematica distinzione con il traffico di migranti
2018
Il contributo affronta il tema della tratta di esseri umani in una prospettiva di contrasto multilivello, che mette in rilievo la dignità della persona, quale meta-valore ordinamentale, e la considerazione delle esigenze di contrasto alle nuove forme di criminalità. A tal proposito, si evidenza la necessità di una considerazione integrata delle due prospettive, ormai recepita nell’approccio olistico di contrasto al fenomeno affermatosi a livello sovranazionale. A fianco della tradizionale repressione penale, il Protocollo Trafficking in Persons alla Convenzione ONU di Palermo sul crimine organizzato transnazionale inserisce rilevanti norme sulla prevenzione, la cooperazione tra Stati e la p…

Proximity violence against women refugees and migrants in Sicily. Operators’ testimonies
2019
The research presented in this chapter intended illustrating the practices im-plemented to foster inclusion of and support to migrants above all, female refugees/asylum seekers hosted by reception centres in Sicily . At the same time, it sought to outline some of the limits the reception system presents when it comes to supporting victims of proximity vio-lence. A description of these practices and identification of the limits became, therefore, the two-fold purpose of this investigative project (PRoximity On VIolence: Defence and Equity) fouded by European Community Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme -2014-2020). To carry out the research two methodological choices had to be made: …
Landing through Informal Blue Infrastructures: the State of Exception in Planning
2016
This paper explore the effects of great economic success in some rural areas of Southern-Eastern Sicily. This paper argue that in this context landscape turns into a "landscape of exception". In orderto explain by wich mechanisms oppression actually occurs, I will use Agamben's concepts. The case study illustrate that also the economic power can produce a system of rules wich are spatially localized, allowing it to reshape landscape by eliminating natural preserve zones and costructing elements of dominance and control. In the case of Southern-Eastern Sicily, this is clearly manifested where planning is suspended to maintain the economic power's superiority and control over the agricultural…
Has Multiculturalism Failed in Europe? Migration Policies, State of Emergency, and Their Impact on Migrants’ Identities in Italy
2014
This chapter analyzes migration policies in Italy within the larger frame of the debate on multiculturalism and its failure in Europe. The first part focuses on the exceptional flow of migrants that after the recent conflicts in Northern Africa was directed toward Europe across the Italian coast. The emergency raised issues for the defense of territories, social security, and preservation of identity. The author demonstrates the inefficiency of the Italian migration and emergency policies that has been adopted at the arrival of undocumented migrants from Northern Africa in 2011. The chapter uses the case of Italy to show the weakness of Europe in developing effective forms of coexistence an…
The incidence of psychotic disorders among migrants and minority ethnic groups in Europe: findings from the multinational EU-GEI study
2022
AbstractBackgroundIn Europe, the incidence of psychotic disorder is high in certain migrant and minority ethnic groups (hence: ‘minorities’). However, it is unknown how the incidence pattern for these groups varies within this continent. Our objective was to compare, across sites in France, Italy, Spain, the UK and the Netherlands, the incidence rates for minorities and the incidence rate ratios (IRRs, minorities v. the local reference population).MethodsThe European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene–Environment Interactions (EU-GEI) study was conducted between 2010 and 2015. We analyzed data on incident cases of non-organic psychosis (International Classification of …
Molecular Surveillance of HIV-1 in Madrid, Spain: a Phylogeographic Analysis ▿
2011
ABSTRACT The molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 is constantly changing, mainly as a result of human migratory flows and the high adaptive ability of the virus. In recent years, Spain has become one of Europe's main destinations for immigrants and one of the western European countries with the highest rates of HIV-positive patients. Using a phylogeographic approach, we have analyzed the relationship between HIV-1 variants detected in immigrant and native populations of the urban area of Madrid. Our project was based on two coincidental facts. First, resistance tests were extended to naïve and newly diagnosed patients, and second, the Spanish government legislated the provision of legal status t…

Los migrantes irregulares en el Mediterráneo: El caso italiano y sus contradicciones
2019
Benché il discorso pubblico continui a richiamare una emergenza immigrazione, lo studio muove dai dati della consistenza reale del fenomeno, fortemente decrescenti nell’ultimo anno e mezzo. Si avverte poi l’esigenza di rivisitare la rilevanza penalistica del migrante irregolare, per superare la sua considerazione come mero oggetto del relativo trafficking, e si propone di mantenere invece un aggancio alla sua condizione di persona, che svolge il ruolo di soggetto necessario del favoreggiamento all’immigrazione clandestina, ancorché diverso dall’autore del relativo fatto di reato. Ciò consente di inquadrare meglio anche i relativi diritti nella delicata fase dell’accoglienza, e di passare po…
