Crimmigration and Border Control

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

We, the members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology (ANZSOC), acknowledge the traditional custodians of Australia and the sovereignty of the Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand.

ANZSOC would like to acknowledge the ongoing Traditional Custodians of the lands for which our constituents conduct their teaching, learning, and research. We would like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and the lands, now called Australia, continue to belong to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the Traditional custodians of the lands. ANZSOC would like to pay respects to the Elders who have passed on the legacy of knowledge and culture to the future generations and acknowledge that the future generations hold the hope, the stories and the continued knowledge for current and emerging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. May this knowledge through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing guide you with wisdom and courage.

ANZSOC also recognises iwi Māori and their unceded right to tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and their expression of mana motuhaka (self-determination). We acknowledge mātauranga Māori (Māori ways of being and knowing) informs both traditional and contemporary knowledge production and its ability to enhance our collective futures.

The Association acknowledges the consequences and harms that continue to be inflicted by the criminal justice systems of Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand on Indigenous peoples in the region and seeks through its activities to address these harms and to work to prevent them from continuing in the future.
