'Immigration Detention meets the reader’s expectations in illustrating the geographical spread and diversity of immigration detention policies on a global scale by using a systematic, comparative approach, and by addressing legal and political developments, together with factual evidence from the field. The book demonstrates clearly the pressing need to advance and accelerate the debate on alternatives to immigration detention, and to discuss a greater accountability for States that fail to meet their international obligations. In sum, this work makes an important contribution to the field by providing a clear and well-documented analysis of migration detention policies throughout the world, and this development is most welcome.'Rebecca Deruiter, PhD Candidate, Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy, Ghent University, International Journal of Refugee Law
