Article “Beyond Refugee Camps"

The article “Beyond Refugee Camps: Housing Solutions for War Refugees from Ukraine in Poland” by Natalia Bloch and Zbigniew Szmyt has been published in the academic journal Crime, Law and Social Change (Springer). The article will be part of a special issue dedicated to the specific characteristics of wartime displacement from Ukraine.

The authors compare private hosting with collective accommodation, outlining the legal and institutional frameworks of both solutions, which helped Poland avoid establishing refugee camps in response to the full-scale war in Ukraine.

The article is available in open access: Beyond refugee camps: housing solutions for war refugees from Ukraine in Poland | Crime, Law and Social Change.
