Race, Criminal Justice, and Migration Control

Allison Crennen-Dunlap, Crimmigration.com Race, Criminal Justice, and Migration Control "seeks to reorient the burgeoning field of literature on migration control in criminology and criminal law around issues of race" (p.4). Together, the contributors do much toward achieving this goal as they explore, test, and analyze the many ways in which racism drives migration control and migration controls, tied to criminal justice systems, perpetuate racial subordination.

Mary Bosworth is Professor of Criminology and Fellow of St Cross College at the University of Oxford and, concurrently, Professor of Criminology at Monash University, Australia. She is assistant director of the Centre for Criminology and Director of Border Criminologies, an interdisciplinary research group focusing on the intersections between criminal justice and border control. She conducts research into the ways in which prisons and immigration detention centres uphold notions of race, gender, and citizenship and how those who are confined negotiate their daily lives. Her research is international and comparative and has included work conducted in Paris, Britain, the USA, and Australia. She is currently heading a five-year project on 'Subjectivity, Identity and Penal Power: Incarceration in a Global Age' funded by a starting grant from the European Research Council. Alpa Parmar read social and political sciences and completed her doctorate at Cambridge University. Following this she held a British Academy Postdoctoral fellowship at King's College London. Her research considers the implications of security practices upon notions of belonging and ethnic identity, and multi-cultural citizenry. During her postdoctoral fellowship, she was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, at which time she conducted a comparative policing study on stop-and-search and stop-and-frisk. Yolanda Vazquez is an associate professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Law. Her research examines the intertwined relationship between immigration law and the criminal justice system. Her scholarship has focused on the role of United States criminal courts and the duties of defense lawyers in advising noncitizen defendants on the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction.
