Description
The ANZSOC Immigration and Hate Crime thematic group brings together scholars to advance theory, knowledge and practice in the study of the criminologies of immigration and hate crime. Under the broad banner of hate crime we include bias- or prejudice-motivated crime or incivility targeting persons of marginalised identities, including but by no means limited to: ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, and disability.

The group welcomes ANZSOC members involved in research, policy, practice, and advocacy across a broad range of areas, including:

  • Hate crime
  • Crime, immigration, and ethnic diversity
  • Marginalised identity and social belonging
  • Public discourse and representations of immigrants and persons of marginalised identities
  • Policing and social control of immigrants and persons with marginalised identities
  • Border control, migration and settlement


Aims and Objectives
The thematic group aims to:

A. Create a network of scholars, policy-makers, practitioners, and advocates to support collegiality, mentorship, and engagement
B. Build links between research, policy, practice and advocacy, across universities, government,
non-government, and community organisations.
C. Support the dissemination of research into immigration and hate crime
D. Organise and promote ANZSOC conference panels and events relating to immigration and hate crime
