Abstract
Undocumented migrants in the UK are currently the subject of tough government rhetoric and
abrasive action, accompanied by a pernicious media debate. Faced by an ongoing and aggressive
set of legislative and policy changes, the position of undocumented migrants is increasingly
insecure, with efforts mounting to step up enforcement against this group. In a collaborative
project, the Centre for Criminology at The University of Manchester, The Migrant Rights
Network, and TiPP ask: ‘What are the experiences of undocumented migrants in the UK? What problems do
they face in negotiating the system? And what is being done to support them?’
