Contesting Crimmigration in Post-hukou China

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the intersection of law and migration, this book examines how internal migrants in contemporary China are often viewed as criminals due to the hukou system, a household registration framework. It explores the concept of crimmigration, where immigration enforcement and criminal law converge, revealing the implications of hukou on the criminal justice process. Key questions address who is criminalized, the influence of hukou on this process, and its evolving role within China's socio-political landscape.
