Revue de presse
A central argument of the book is that concerns for humanitarianism that were evident at the time of the signing of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees in the aftermath of World War II have been replaced with concerns for the integrity of national sovereignty. Pickering compellingly argues that the asylum seeker has been criminalised – portrayed as a threat to national security and embodying deviance. The book is well-researched, drawing on a number of disciplines as well as on an extensive range of primary and secondary sources … [I]rrespective of which side of the policy debate the reader empathises with, this book is a valuable and well-researched contribution to the debate about Australia’s treatment of a vulnerable group of people. Reform, Issue 87, Summer 2005/06 This ground-breaking book is a powerful and timely critique of the law and order politics which have come to define western approaches to refugees. In an elegant and scholarly account, Pickering locates refugee policy within a state crime framework and forces the re-examination of fundamental questions about the nature of sovereignty, political legitimacy and criminal justice. Forced migration is an appalling fact for millions of the world's population, a fact which states in the developed world have strenuously attempted to redefine for domestic and global political purposes. The importance of Refugees and State Crime lies in its authoritative and compelling portrayal of refugees as political victims of western state crime. Professor Penny Green, University of Westminster

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
