Review Quotes: In this timely volume, Professors Koulish and Van der Woude bring together a diverse array of scholarly voices to eludicate the mechanisms and consequences of national migration management policies reliant on the punitive mechanisms of the criminal law and the militarized force of the security state. The authors collectively reveal the global scope of this policy trend, and the dangers that it holds for human dignity and democratic self-determination.---Jennifer M. Chacón, UCLA School of Law
