Academic article on mass immigration detention published

Development summary

Lorenzo Bernardini’s article, published in the Journal of Perpetrator Research as “Mass Immigration Detention: Thorny Pathologies and Large-Scale Impact”, examines mass immigration detention in Europe through the EU migration-law framework and the ECHR. The author argues that these regimes tend to place state control and border management ahead of migrants’ right to liberty, producing four structural pathologies: marginalisation, normalisation, minimisation and invisibilisation. The article further suggests that recognising detention’s punitive character and strengthening judicial review could improve protections.
