Framing and the mechanisms of criminalisation in the migration context
This scoping review synthesises empirical literature on the criminalisation of migrants, focusing on how criminalisation is framed and the mechanisms through which it is enacted and experienced. Drawing on 16 peer-reviewed studies published between 2013 and 2023, the review demonstrates that criminalisation operates as a multidimensional regime of governance, extending beyond formal law enforcement to encompass spatial, administrative, discursive…
Asylum seekers and refugees’ perspectives and experiences of what makes Glasgow welcoming

Data is drawn from 30 interviews conducted with ASRs from 15 countries residing in Glasgow, 20 interviews with the third se…
Exploring Inclusive Cities for Migrants in the UK and Sweden: A Scoping Review
