The Routledge Handbook on Crime and International Migration


Book Description

The Routledge Handbook on Crime and International Migration is concerned with the various relationships between migration, crime and victimization that have informed a wide criminological scholarship often driven by some of the original lines of inquiry of the Chicago School. Historically, migration and crime came to be the device by which Criminology and cognate fields sought to tackle issues of race and ethnicity, often in highly problematic ways. However, in the contemporary period this body of scholarship is inspiring scholars to produce significant evidence that speaks to some of the biggest public policy questions and debunks many dominant mythologies around the criminality of migrants. The Routledge Handbook on Crime and International Migration is also concerned with the theoretical, empirical and policy knots found in the relationship between regular and irregular migration, offending and victimization, the processes and impact of criminalization, and the changing role of criminal justice systems in the regulation and enforcement of international mobility and borders. The Handbook is focused on the migratory ‘fault lines’ between the Global North and Global South, which have produced new or accelerated sites of state control, constructed irregular migration as a crime and security problem, and mobilized ideological and coercive powers usually reserved for criminal or military threats. Offering a strong international focus and comprehensive coverage of a wide range of border, criminal justice and migration-related issues, this book is an important contribution to criminology and migration studies and will be essential reading for academics, students and practitioners interested in this field.




Global Mobility of Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals


Book Description

It is now easier than ever for ultra-high-net-worth individuals to relocate and select a country as their residence, and in light of a variety of circumstances, including political instability and the proliferation of special tax regimes across more countries designed to attract the wealthy, this is a continually increasing trend. However these individuals must consider a wide range of factors when deciding whether to relocate internationally, and so advisers need to take a holistic approach. This title, featuring contributions by leading private client advisers from 16 key jurisdictions worldwide, provides readers with expert guidance on the tax and legal aspects of inbound and outbound transfer of residence of ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Chapters cover the relevant law in their respective jurisdictions relating to: immigration; tax; succession; and family. It also considers the application of tax treaties to beneficial tax regimes, and the relocation of works of art, as well as other key topics. This book will be an invaluable tool for lawyers, tax advisers, bankers and all professionals who assist ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
