Marc Notes: Includes bibliiographical references and index. Table of Contents: Borders, Mobility and Technologies of Control.- The Shifting Frontiers of Migration Control.- Border Narratives.- Global Flows, Semi-permeable Borders and New Channels of Inequality.- Biometrics, Borders and the Ideal Suspect.- Borders, Belonging and Homeland (In)security.- Control, Protection and Negligence.- State Crime Beyond Borders.- The Gender of Control.- Law and Order on the Border in the Neo-colonial Antipodes.- De-territorialising Criminology. Publisher Marketing: 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, and sociology.
