Crimmigration and Border Control

Convenors
Henrietta McNeill, Australian National University
Meg Randolph, Monash University

Description
The thematic group is based around the emerging sub-discipline variously described as ‘border criminology’ or the ‘criminology of mobility’. It brings together members who undertake research on border control including the intersection of criminal and immigration law and practice, a development characterised by US legal scholar Juliet Stumpf as ‘crimmigration’.

Members of this thematic group are at the forefront of interdisciplinary efforts to understand the context for the expansion and implications of crimmigration and other forms of border control, and their impact on sovereignty, mobility, lived experience, and on long-standing criminal justice and immigration procedures and processes.

Aims and Objectives
The Crimmigration and Border Control Thematic Group aims to:

  • Foster the exchange and deepening of ideas between scholars operating in Australia/New Zealand-Aotearoa and globally
  • Form a cross-institutional research network that promotes communication, research collaboration, dissemination, mentoring and support
  • Enhance the relevance and impact of existing and emerging research areas
  • Ensure a rural, regional and remote focus is visible within research collaborations, networks
    and events
  • Build and promote links between researchers and industry partners in the criminal justice and
    immigration system
  • Provide a ‘crimmigration and border control’ stream within the ANZSOC conference program
  • Maintain a presence on the ANZSOC website and through the Twitter Account @ANZSOC_Borders to act as a point of first contact for information about this research area
