Criminality at Work
基于一项三年项目，研究劳动法与刑法的交叉领域，特别是《现代奴隶制法》和《移民法》如何将劳动剥削和非法移民工作定为犯罪，填补当代学术对两者互动的忽视。
This collection is based on a 3-year project led by the editors, Alan Bogg, Jennifer Collins, Mark Freedland and Jonathan Herring, which investigated the intersection between labour law and criminal law. Particular impetus to explore the intersection between these legal areas had been provided by two pieces of legislation. First, the Modern Slavery Act 2015, which had created new offences in order to criminalize modern slavery (including labour exploitation); and, secondly, the Immigration Act 2016, which rendered employing an irregular migrant or working as an irregular migrant a criminal offence (p.3). Underlying the project is the awareness of the absence of a focus within contemporary scholarship on the nature of interactions between criminal law and labour law. This is identified as a surprising oversight when juxtaposed against an established body of literature within legal history and labour history scholarship which spillover has underscored the repressive regulatory reach of the criminal law into labour relations (p.3).
