This book offers a clear and authoritative guide to the growing field of border criminology. As governments worldwide tighten their grips on migration, it shows how police and prisons are adapting to changes in detention and deportation practices.

The book examines overlapping criminal and administrative powers across the Global North and South, teasing out the ways in which citizenship and race intersect in an era of strict migration controls. It investigates how criminal justice practices are changing in our interconnected yet unequal world and envisions more inclusive and progressive forms of state power.
