This project considers the law and policy in relation to illegal immigration in the EU with a specific focus on two countries: Italy and the UK. It aims to fully understand the EU perspective in legislating in this area and considers how EU involvement in this field can further our understanding of effective economic, social and political integration of Member States into the EU.
It then considers the national implementation of EU law and policy as well as national law and policy in this area in 2 Member States. The countries chosen represent countries with different legal systems and different approaches to regulating immigration and therefore the study provides an opportunity for in-depth understanding of illegal immigration and legal and policy responses to it.
For more information on the project please contact Annalisa Morticelli at A.Morticelli@bradford.ac.uk or Jess Guth at J.Guth@bradford.ac.uk 3

This study was conducted by the West Yorkshire Policing and Community Research Partnership in conjunction with Bradford South Police and the Neighbourhood Policing Team. The purpose of the research was to evaluate community confidence and satisfaction in relation to policing priorities and performance in the Manningham and Toller Wards, within the broader context of overall community wellbeing. This entailed extensive and inclusive consultation with all groups within this community in order to identify those issues which the community itself considers relevant to policing and the factors which impact on communication and information dissemination in matters of policing and police performance.

Bradford University Law School stages a regular series of research seminars during the academic year. These sessions, which are open to both SOM staff and students, allow members of the Law School to present details of their current research.
Staff within the Law School are engaged in legal and socio-legal research across a broad range of subject areas and the seminars are an excellent opportunity to learn about this work. For students they offer a chance to learn about research topics and methods which could assist with your own work and dissertation choices. For SOM staff they provide a forum for discussion of ongoing research and possible areas of mutual interest.
