This open access book explores how biometric data is increasingly
flowing across borders in order to limit, control and contain the
mobility of selected people, namely criminalized populations. It
introduces the concept of bio-bordering, using it to capture
reverse patterns of bordering and ordering practices linked to
transnational biometric data exchange regimes. The concept is
useful to reconstruct how the territorial foundations of national
state autonomy are partially reclaimed and, at the same time,
partially purposefully suspended. The book focuses on the Prum
system, which facilitates the mandatory exchange of forensic DNA
data amongst EU Member States. The Prum system is an underexplored
phenomenon, representing diverse instances of bio-bordering and
providing a complex picture of the hidden (dis)integration of
Europe. Particular legal, scientific, technical and political
dimensions related to the governance and uses of biometric
technologies in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the
United Kingdom are specifically explored to demonstrate both
similar and distinct patterns.
