By exploring crimmigration at its intersection with international
refugee law, this book exposes crimmigration as a system focused on
the governance of territorially present migrants, which
internalizes the impracticability of removal and replaces expulsion
with domestic policing. The convergence of criminal law and
immigration law, known as crimmigration, has become perhaps the
paradigmatic model for governing migration in the age of
globalization. This book offers a unique way of understanding
crimmigration as a system of governmentality, the primary target of
which is the population, its principal form of knowledge being
political economy, and its essential mechanism being the apparatus
of security. It does so by characterizing a particular model of
crimmigration, termed crimmigration under international protection,
which targets refugees and asylum-seekers who are principally
undeportable under international law. The book draws on a
comparative research of such models implemented worldwide, combined
with a detailed case study of the immigration detention system
instigated in Israel for coping with asylum-seekers specifically
and exclusively. These models demonstrate that, at its core,
crimmigration is not a system of outright social exclusion focused
on the expulsion of undesirable migrants, but rather one focused on
the management, classification and policing of domestic
populations. It is argued that under crimmigration regimes criminal
law becomes instrumental in the facilitation of gradual
assimilation, by shifting immigration enforcement from the margins
of the state to the daily supervision of territorially present
migrants. The book illustrates this point by focusing on three main
themes: crimmigration as domestication; crimmigration as civic
stratification; and crimmigration as a mechanism coined by Foucault
as the apparatus of security and by Deleuze as the society of
control. By exploring these themes, the book offers a comprehensive
framework for understanding the rise of crimmigration and the
particular ways in which it targets resident migrants. The book
will be of interest to researchers and academics working in the
areas of Criminal law and Criminology, Immigration law, Citizenship
Studies, Globalization Studies, Border Studies and Critical Refugee
Studies.
