"This collection of critical essays considers the criminalisation of squatting from
a range of different theoretical, policy and practice perspectives. While the practice
of squatting has long been criminalised in some jurisdictions, the last few years
have witnessed the emergence of a newly constituted political concern with unlawful
occupation of land. With initiatives to address the 'threat' of squatting sweeping
across Europe, the offence of squatting in a residential building was created in England
in 2012. This development, which has attracted a large measure of media attention,
has enormous political, social and legal significance. It has been widely regarded
as a controversial policy departure, with many commentators, Parliamentarians, and
professional organisations arguing that its support is premised on misunderstandings
of the current law and a limited and precarious evidence-base concerning the nature
and prevalence of 'squatting'. This collection explores the significance of measures
to criminalise squatting, both in England and in other jurisdictions, for squatters,
owners and communities. It also uses these measures as a point of departure from which
to interrogate wider themes relating to political philosophy, social policy, criminal
justice and the nature of ownership. Overall, then, this book consider how the assimilation
of squatting to a contemporary punitive turn is shaping the political, social, legal
and moral landscapes of property, housing and crime"
