Border Criminologies from the Periphery Cross-national Conversations on Bordered Penality

    380 Pages 12 B/W Illustrations
    by Routledge

    This book contributes to and broadens the field of Border Criminology, by bringing together a collection of chapters from leading scholars engaged in cross-national and comparative conversations on bordered penality and crimmigration practices, with a specific focus on research conducted in places that may be considered peripheral and semi-peripheral jurisdictions.

    It builds not only on global criminological debates but also on southern criminological concerns, thereby enriching border criminology conversations by expanding the epistemological boundaries of these academic debates. It asks a variety of questions. What is the part being played by detention practices at the national level and how is it changing over time? To what extent are deportation policies playing a significant role in the coercive management of unwanted noncitizens? Is the criminal justice system, and more precisely the prison system crucially supplementing the immigration enforcement apparatus in handling undocumented noncitizen groups? Should that be the case, is the increasing criminalization of noncitizens leading to the consolidation of a dual criminal justice system?

    It is essential reading for those engaged in Border Criminology, Southern Criminology, and Comparative Criminal Justice.

    "This collection makes a crucial contribution to contemporary debates on border criminology by rescuing voices from peripheral contexts, expanding the set of problems, concepts and arguments of this field of study, with the contributions situated in these other scenarios until now frequently neglected in the framework of the unequal relations of production of knowledge at a global level."
    Máximo Sozzo, Professor of Sociology and Criminology, National University of Litoral, Argentina 

    "Finally a book that brings to the forefront voices that until now stood at the periphery of crimmigration and border criminology studies! This ambitious volume questions established assumptions about the how and why of migration control, upending what we thought we knew about the theories and realities of crimmigration and border criminology. Through comparing Global North and Global South experiences and practices and challenging traditional notions about migration control, the book charts a new course for the study of border control on a global scale. An impressive, timely, and finely wrought project."
    Juliet Stumpf, Professor of Law, Lewis & Clark College, USA

    "Border Criminologies from the Periphery offers a nuanced, scholarly examination of the intersections between criminal justice and immigration enforcement. This edited collection provides a critical comparative analysis of bordered penality, highlighting underrepresented jurisdictions and advancing theoretical debates. It is an indispensable resource for researchers and academics in criminology, sociology, and migration studies."
    Maartje van der Woude, Professor of Law & Society, Leiden Law School, the Netherlands

    "This impressive collection of essays ‘from the periphery’ expands the horizons of border criminology geopolitically, while also capturing the multi-scalar nature of bordering and the ever-changing modalities of state power recruited to the bordering effort. Many of the contributions challenge the validity of established conceptual borders separating the Global North and South, identifying new peripheral spaces from which to examine and critique border control. A powerhouse of a book that enriches the discipline."
    Leanne Weber, Professor of Criminology, University of Canberra, Australia
