Lea Sitkin completed her DPhil in Criminology at the University of Oxford in 2014. She is currently a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Course Leader for the BA Criminology programme at the University of Westminster in London. She is also an affiliate of the Border Criminologies Network and the European working group on Organised Crime (EUROC).
In this wide-ranging, theoretically sophisticated yet subtly nuanced comparative analysis of immigration control, and of state failure to enforce labour market protections in relation to migrants, Lea Sitkin makes a decisive contribution to our understanding of the political economy of immigration regulation. This book should be read not only by lawyers and criminologists but also by political scientists and social policy scholars. Nicola Lacey, School Professor of Law, Gender and Social Policy, LSE, UK
