"Administrative Detention in Italy: From Immigration ‘Control’ to Immigration ‘Management’ through Alternatives to Detention". BA Thesis, John Cabot University, Rome, Italy. 2015.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14490/889Thesis (B.A. in International Affairs)--John Cabot University, Spring 2015.The purpose of this research is to show that immigration detention in Italy is ineffective, unethical, and carried out in a way that is detrimental to the detainees’psychological and physical wellbeing as well as to Italy’s long-term public policy interests, and that alternatives to detention are practicable. In order to achieve this goal, this dissertation explores the legal framework regulating immigration detention, the Italian detention system and its functioning, and the alternatives to detention discussed among the epistemic community. The findings that will follow may not only prove that Italy -and the EU- has an obligation to shift policy from migration ‘control’ to migration‘management’, but may also raise awareness on the issue.vii, 62 pagesenEmigration and immigration lawEuropean Union countriesThesis
