“…Alien, the term used in the title of this article, is also occasionally used in crimmigration discourse, perhaps to emphasize how distant and detached discussions on foreigners may become and illuminate explicit shades of alienation in the managing of migration (Franko 2007;Hudson 2006). Incidentally, legislation perhaps anachronistically often uses the term as well: the Slovenian statute regulating the status of foreigners in Slovenia was until recently officially translated into English as the Aliens Act, 1 like those in Sweden, Finland and Ireland, or the famous British Aliens Act of 1905 (Vincenzi 1985). The term has strong political connotations and has been repeatedly used in the USA by the Trump administration in recent discussions on immigrants, often coupled with the adjective 'criminal' to coin the collocation 'criminal alien' (Caldwell 2016), accidentally evoking Lombroso's classical notion of criminality.…”

Punishing the Alien: The Sentencing of Foreign Offenders in Slovenia The authors examine the question of foreignness, which appears in many shades; citizenship is thus just one of the many aspects contributing to society's stance on 'foreignness'. After sketching the current prison situation in Europe, the authors analyse the situation of foreigners in the Slovenian criminal justice system. On the one hand, we can perceive a general turn towards harsher treatment of foreign offenders-there have been more convictions and more foreigners in prison recently. However, a more detailed analysis shows that with regard to cases of homicide, foreigners may even be receiving more lenient sentences compared to Slovenian citizens. KEY WORDS: foreigners, prison, criminal justice, court, sentencing IZVLEČEK Kaznovanje tujcev: Kaznovanje tujih storilcev kaznivih dejanj v Sloveniji Avtorja se uvodoma ukvarjata z vprašanjem »tujosti«, ki se pojavlja v več intenzitetah: državljanstvo posameznika je le eden od dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na njegovo družbeno sprejemanje ali zavračanje. Po pregledu stanja v evropskih zaporih avtorja v osrednjem delu analizirata položaj tujcev v slovenskem kazenskopravnem sistemu, kjer je mogoče zaznati zaostrovanje pri obravnavi tujcev-več obsodb in več tujcev v zaporih v zadnjih letih. Temu nasprotne rezultate pa pokaže podrobnejši pregled kaznivega dejanja umora (in uboja), v katerem avtorja ugotavljata, da je kaznovanje tujcev celo manj punitivno kot kaznovanje domačih državljanov in za to ponudita nekaj morebitnih razlag.

Charging regimes and the extraction of revenue are integral components of immigration control in the United Kingdom. However, while these have been analysed in their individual guises, to date, there has been little substantive analysis bringing these regimes together and locating them at the centre of its enquiry. Drawing on data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act 2000, this paper consequently examines the functions of charging regimes as a distinct form of statecraft, focussing its attention on UK Visas and Immigration fees and charges, carrier sanctions, charges related to accessing services and civil penalties administered though immigration enforcement. Analysing their historical roots and their contemporary prevalence, it suggests that they contribute to the political economy of financial power, which has significant implications for understandings of criminalization and immigration enforcement.
