Contesting Crimmigration in Post-hukou China

The book explores the intersection of internal migration and criminalization in contemporary China, focusing on the hukou system, which governs household registration. It examines how internal migrants are often viewed as criminals within this framework, reflecting a broader global trend known as crimmigration. Key questions addressed include the identification of those criminalized, the influence of hukou on the justice process, and the evolving role of hukou in shaping societal perceptions and legal outcomes for migrants over time.
