Book description
Territorial borders are taking on a new significance, the
implications of which are relatively unexplored within the discipline of
criminology. This book presents the first systematic attempt to develop a
critical criminology of the border and offers a unique treatment of the
impact of globalisation and mobility. It focuses on borders and the
significance of the activities which take place on and around them. For many
the border is an everyday reality, a space in which to live, a land
necessary to cross. For states the border space increasingly requires
protection and defence; is at the centre of state ideology and performance;
is the site for investing significant political and material resources, and
is ultimately ungovernable. Providing a wealth of case material from
Australia, Europe and North America, it is for students, academics, and
practitioners working in the areas of criminology, migration, human
geography, international law and politics, globalisation, sociology and
cultural anthropology.
