Migration and public security

Migration and public security

18:30 Wednesday 21st February 2024
Press Club Brussels, Rue Froissart 95, 1040 Brussels

Terror attacks seem to be becoming a depressingly regular part of European life. In recent weeks we have seen a Malian national with Italian residency carry out a hammer and knife attack in Paris, and an asylum seeker and convicted criminal carry out an acid attack in London. Despite the elite’s obvious discomfort, we have to ask the question: what is the relationship between migration, asylum, and public security?

For this event, MCC Brussels will bring together two leading academic experts to explore what is going on:

Dr Simon Cottee, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, University of Kent and author of ‘Watching Murder: ISIS, Death Videos and Radicalization’
Dr Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, Research Fellow, Sociétés Religions Laïcité GSRL Group, Paris Sciences et Lettres Université and author of ‘Le Frérisme et ses réseaux: L'Enquête’
