Conclusion of summary:

Glenny thinks that the countermeasures that are stopping the refugees from entering Europe freely is only hurting the system because of people smugglers. Instead Glenny thinks that countries should let people in so that the smugglers are useless.

Response or opinion paragraph:

I agree whit Glenny because she bring up a lot of good points and it makes me wonder why the european countries are making it so hard for refugees to get int to the countries. She tells us that many of the refugees have a good education and that it can help the countries and i thinks that is great. I think the reason why people will not take people in is because they think it will hurt their culture. The countries probably think that people will come in and will not make an effort to join the culture. I partly agree whit this because what i see more of here in Sweden is that people will come a town/city and move in where the other immigrants are located they will continue to their language and wont make an effort at learning the Swedish culture. I think that the refugees/immigrant need to ”earn” their way in by doing some sort of test that way the countries can see witch refugees that want to help develop the

The government will assess an asylum seekers’ claims and if they are found to be ‘true refugees’ they are granted the approval of a Temporary Protection Visa (TPV). Asylum seekers who arrive “illegally” by boat in Australia are detained in detention centres, where they are detained (without charge and without trial) by Australia’s Immigration, in anticipation of visas for gruelling periods of time. However, it is not illegal to seek asylum in Australia even if arriving by boat (no matter how you arrive).…

    - Frank Tannerbaum, Crime and the Community, 1938 The shift in discourse of how asylum-seekers are framed and the securitization of the boarder have resulted in states attempting to deter asylum claims and making the process difficult. This shift has occurred concurrently with a shift in the area of crime and punishment. Since the late 1980s, the United States has surpassed other countries in having the highest incarceration rates in the developed world. The growth in prison populations was accompanied by a growth in militarized policing, an emphasis on management, classification, profiling and a rise in enforcement budgets despite a general economic downsizing in other areas (Story, 2005).…

    Intro Organized crime by definition is “illegal behavior that is planned and carried out by groups of people in a very systematic fashion”. In that regard, it has been and probably will continue to be a something that law enforcement will have to battle on every possible front. Organized crime is nothing new to the American criminal justice system, as it has been fighting with all aspects of organized crime for many years. While many may only think of the American Mafia, or mob, as many call it, organized crime reaches far more people, in vastly diverse ways than one may realize.…

    Human Trafficking is defined as “the recruitment, transfer, or harboring of persons through the use or threat of force, coercion, or deception, for the purpose of exploitation and forced labor” (Yen Koh “Human Trafficking: Overview” 2). A solution to this international issue is convoluted and difficult. While many individuals claim that creating more criminalizing legislation and allotting more resources to law enforcement may curb the impact of human trafficking, a more valuable and preventative solution involves the reform of current immigration policies and the protection of migrant and laborer rights. Human trafficking is just one example of exploitation on the wide spectrum of immigrant and labor mistreatment engrained into society. Immigrants…

    All three texts focus on asylum seekers. Each text views asylum seekers in a different way while also sharing similar concerns with the two other texts. The poem, Outsider, by Cassidy Stagg and the short story, Stained, by Sara El Sayed, both imaginatively and sympathetically explore the struggles that asylum seekers face while trying to fit in and how the two personas deal with being the obvious outsider. The newspaper article, Truth Founders in A Sea of Bias, by Andrew Bolt, focuses on the success of Operation Sovereign Borders. This text contrasts with the other two as it does not focus on being sympathetic towards asylum seekers and their stories but rather takes the controversial view that asylum seekers come by boat or ‘fakes’ shouldn’t…

    The representations of traffickers have effects on how traffickers are thought of, talked about and handled. This in effect, have direct consequences for the understanding of trafficking and ultimately how the issue is addressed. The representation of traffickers within policy documents often becomes conflated with other criminal practices such as (smuggling “illegal migration”, money laundering,etc. ) making it harder to identify the persons committing acts of trafficking (Lobasz 2009: 319). Kienast et al. (2015: 138) have argued that to address the issue of trafficking, we need to consider the factors that may lead to persons engaging in trafficking.…

    Slavery in the Modern World “Like anyone, trafficking survivors want to be recognized for their personal and professional contributions and accomplishment. Like any former victim will tell you, it's not enough to survive a terrible trauma, because no individual should be defined or pigeonholed by the worst thing that ever happened to them... we must strive to empower victims who are desperately trying to make the overwhelming shift to survivor, as well as survivors who need and deserve to be recognized for more than his or her ‘story.’” These inspirational words come from now 30 year old Evelyn Chumbow, a modern slavery survivor and native of Cameroon.
