Race, Criminal Justice, and Migration Control

Race, Criminal Justice, and Migration Control. 

Enforcing the Boundaries of Belonging

Edited by Mary Bosworth, Alpa Parmar, and Yolanda Vazquez

• A collection of essays that considers how societal practices, laws, and criminal justice institutions delineate who belongs and who does not, and how these factors affect racial minorities across the world, in strikingly uneven ways
• Brings race to the centre of its analysis in order to reveal how migration and its control is inherently racialized
• Demonstrates how the architecture of legislation, the process of criminal justice, and the institutions of criminal justice and border control conspire and coalesce to grant some people citizenship, while denying it to others
• Essential reading for lawyers, criminologists, criminal justice practitioners, migration scholars, and sociologists, as well as general readers approaching the topic for the first time
