Winner of the 2014 British Society of Criminology Book Prize This
book examines the role of criminal law in the enforcement of
immigration controls over the last two decades in Britain. The
criminalization of immigration status has historically served
functions of exclusion and control against those who defy the
state's powers over its territory and population. In the last two
decades, the powers to exclude and punish have been enhanced by the
expansion of the catalogue of immigration offences and their more
systematic enforcement. This book is the first in-depth analysis on
criminal offences in Britain, and presents original empirical
material about the use of criminal powers against suspected
immigration wrongdoers. Based on interviews with practitioners and
staff at the UK Border Agency and data from court cases involving
immigration defendants, it examines prosecution decision making and
the proceedings before the criminal justice system. Crimes of
Mobility critically analyses the criminalization of immigration
status and, more generally, the functions of the criminal law in
immigration enforcement, from a legal and normative perspective. It
will be of interest to academics and research students working on
criminology, criminal law, criminal justice, socio-legal studies,
migration and refugee studies, and human rights, as well as
criminal law and immigration practitioners.
