Territorial borders are taking on a new significance, the
implications of which are relatively unexplored within the
discipline of criminology. This book presents the first systematic
attempt to develop a critical criminology of the border and offers
a unique treatment of the impact of globalisation and mobility. It
focuses on borders and the significance of the activities which
take place on and around them. For many the border is an everyday
reality, a space in which to live, a land necessary to cross. For
states the border space increasingly requires protection and
defence; is at the centre of state ideology and performance; is the
site for investing significant political and material resources,
and is ultimately ungovernable.
Providing a wealth of case material from Australia, Europe and
North America, it is for students, academics, and practitioners
working in the areas of criminology, migration, human geography,
international law and politics, globalisation, sociology and
cultural anthropology.
"Borders, Mobility and Technologies of Control provides a model
of criminological inquiry that is global in scope, constructionist
in vision, and capable of combining the insights of dialogic and
political-economic analyses into a holistic understanding of the
growing conflict between nation-states and multitudes. This book is
an important, new step forward for all those who approach
criminology, not as an adjunct to state control, but as
sociological inquiry in pursuit of human justice."
Dr. Raymond Michalowski, Arizona Regents Professor, Northern
Arizona University, USA
"Borders, mobility and technologies of control is a radical
exploration of new terrain in transnational and comparative
criminology. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, this collection
charts new forms of transgression and control in the borderlands,
raising new theoretical questions and topics for research."
Ben Bowling, Professor of Criminology & Criminal Justice,
King's College, London
