The possible convergence of multiple transnational crimes insisting on the same areas, victims, routes, together with their displacement toward more fragile contexts, may pose severe threats to the lives of migrants and refugees as well as to the security of the European Union. Current and future European policies on migration are key in this respect, as they can reduce criminal opportunities and, in turn, risks for individuals and societies.

Starting from the latest findings of Transcrime’s project on crime convergence, Flows (funded by PMI Impact), the webinar moves to the analysis of the current situation in North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea considering what the present trends of migration to Europe are. This will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the current state of European migration policies and the remedies needed to tackle related issues with renowned participants from European and International institutions. A reflection on these topics is particularly timely, given the constant evolution of migration flows toward Europe and the growing need for a balanced and sustainable policy reform.
