In recent times, Greece is often viewed as the gateway to Europe for high numbers of asylum-seeking individuals, including unaccompanied minors. Between 2016 and 2020, under Greek law unaccompanied children were to be temporarily placed in a protective environment upon irregular entry, pending referral to suitable accommodation. However, in practice, they were being subjected to detention procedures instead.

Giving voice to migrant children and professionals throughout, the author combines legal analysis with criminology and unveils the reality within detention facilities. The findings demonstrate that unaccompanied children in Greece are criminalised through detention processes, while being deprived of the right to be heard.

This book promotes child-friendly practices in the international migration context, with a view to safeguarding the fundamental rights of unaccompanied minors experiencing detention upon arrival in host countries.

Reviews for The Criminalisation of Unaccompanied Migrant Minors: Voices from the Detention Processes in Greece

"""Unaccompanied minors deserve protection, but they end up in detention centres under horrible circumstances. By going to these centres and giving minors and professionals a voice, Papadopoulos lays bare the criminalisation process taking place on European territory."" Joanne van der Leun, Leiden University ""In giving voice to those migrants silenced and punished through administrative procedures, this book provides both an indictment of policy and practice and a way forward in listening to children."" Aaron Pycroft, University of Portsmouth ""An essential book offering a critical and rigorous analysis of crimmigration practices in detention facilities for unaccompanied migrant minors, adequately conveying their daunting experiences in the framework of fundamental children's rights."" Rita Faria, University of Porto"
