Policing the Borders Within offers an in-depth, comprehensive
exploration of the everyday working of inland border controls in
Britain, informed by extensive empirical material viewed through
the lens of wide-ranging interdisciplinary debates. In particular,
this book examines afresh the relationship between policing,
borders, and social order, in terms of migration policing. By
charting this new landscape of everyday contemporary policing, this
book's main goal is to advance understanding of novel forms of law
enforcement in a global age. These new forms of collaboration
direct attention to the way in which frontline enforcement agents,
through their everyday work, not only enforce the border, but
recreate it. As the book argues, the emphasis on borders and
migration controls and the growing importance of it within inland
policing is a symptom of the new demands and challenges facing the
state in exercising authority in a fast-moving, interconnected
world, and its attempt to offer a semblance of order. Such
challenges result in practice of random, capricious, informal, and
arbitrary operation of power, which relies on non-rational elements
to solve policing problems. Through an ethnography of the worlds of
police and immigration officers, this book dissects the ethical,
political, legal, and social dilemmas, and explores the tensions
and contradictions of maintaining order in a deeply unequal
globalized world. The new impetus to police migration is an
insightful entry point to understand law enforcement in a global
age.
