Race, Criminal Justice, and Migration Control: Enforcing the Boundaries of

Description: In an era of mass mobility, those who are permitted to migrate and those criminalized, controlled, and prohibited from migrating are heavily patterned by race. This volume places race at the centre of its analysis; fourteen chapters examine, question, and explain the growing intersection between criminal justice and migration control. Mary Bosworth is Professor of Criminology and Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford and, concurrently, Professor of Criminology at Monash University, Australia. She is Assistant Director of the Centre for Criminology and Director of Border Criminologies, an interdisciplinary research group focusing on the intersections between criminal justice and border control. She conducts research into the ways in which prisons and immigration detention centres uphold notions of race, gender, and citizenship and how those who are confined negotiate their daily lives. Her research is international and comparative and has included work conducted in Paris, Britain, the USA, and Australia. She is currently heading a five-year project, 'Subjectivity, Identity and Penal Power: Incarceration in a Global Age' funded by a starting grant from the European Research Council. Alpa Parmar is a lecturer at the Oxford University Centre for Criminology. Alpa Parmar read Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge and then completed her doctorate (University of Cambridge) in which she empirically examined perceptions of Asian criminality in the UK. Following this she held a British Academy Postdoctoral fellowship at Kings College London in which she researched police stop and search practices under the Terrorism Act 2000 and the consequences of counterterrorist polices for minority ethnic groups, particularly British Asian people. Her research considers the theoretical implications of security practices upon notions of belonging and ethnic identity, and multi-cultural citizenry. During her postdoctoral fellowship, she was a visiting scholar at Berkeley, University of California, at which time she conducted a comparative policing study on stop and search and stop and frisk. Yolanda Vázquez is an associate professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Her research examines the intertwined relationship between immigration law and the criminal justice system. Her scholarship has focused on the role of US criminal courts and the duties of defence lawyers in advising non-citizen defendants on the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction.
