“…However, research has shown that detention in this case leads to children being subjected to conditions that are highly inappropriate (Greek Ombudsman, 2003, 2016Galante, 2014;Papadopoulos, 2020) refugee or stateless children on the sole basis of their migration status or that of their parents, is a violation of Art. 3 CRC, hence strictly prohibited.…”

“…However, despite the research that has been conducted on the issue of wellbeing and integration of migrant minors in Europe (e.g. Lidén & Nyhlén, 2016), not much attention has been given to the right of asylum-seeking children to be heard throughout the administrative steps that follow their irregular entry and subsequent application for international protection.…”

According to a children’s rights’ approach, asylum-seeking children are entitled to special protection. However, reality dictates that as soon as they enter a host country irregularly, they are often criminalised, thus becoming part of the crimmigration debate and as a result they are further deprived of basic human rights including the right to be heard, as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This paper starts from a discussion on the fact that children on the migratory pathway need to be granted a central and active role in research, especially in times when new theoretical concepts in the field of juvenile justice and migration policing are introduced. We continue by delving into both an illustration from Greece and Belgium on how the right of the child to participate and to be heard is applied during reception and asylum procedures. We draw attention to the existing peculiarities of rights-based research methods in immigration studies, whilst arguing for holistic approaches that aim to move beyond the decorative concept of voicing children and towards a positive change concerning asylum processes for migrant minors.

“…This "forced arrival" (Kreichauf 2018) confronts some cities to react and develop reception approaches and accommodation schemes, which otherwise would have barely experienced immigration. In the European context, studies on dispersal and reception focus on the role of municipalities and communities in organizing and accommodating arrivals, institutional challenges, civil society engagements, and shifts in local policies (Aumüller et al 2015;Ikizoglu Erensu and Kasli 2016;Lidén and Nyhlén 2016;Steen 2016). Breckner (2015: 1) finds a "new sensibility" regarding the "localization of provisionary housing, institutional practices and in the acceptance of civil engagement" studying the local living conditions of forced migrants in Hamburg.…”

This chapter discusses the genesis of Denmark’s asylum accommodation system and recent legal and socio-spatial changes as a reaction to the increase of arrivals. By elucidating the structures and objectives of asylum accommodation, I present that the state’s further tightening of restrictive reception and accommodation policies significantly impacts the socio-spatial configurations of accommodations, refugees’ access to housing and their well-being. I discuss the links between the tensioning of laws, the reduction of living conditions and the (re-)constitution of large accommodations as means of socio-spatial exclusion. Applying the case of Denmark’s Hovedstaden Region (Capital Region), I finally argue that asylum accommodation is a central instrument of Denmark’s approaches to strategically isolate forced migrants and to deter them from migrating to Denmark.
