Border Criminology: the intersection of migration and criminal justice

Border criminology is the examination of the intersection of border control and criminal justice. In this lecture, we will provide participants with an overview of the key issues related to globalisation, punishment and migration that are the focus of Border Criminologists. In this session we will introduce participants to the fundamental areas of investigation within this sub-field of criminology, notably citizenship, identity and belonging, placing them within the historical and evolving context of globalisation and migration.

This online lecture will be given by Dr Alice Gerlach, Deputy Head for Education and Student Experience for the School of Law and Social Sciences.

The session forms part of the Dialogue in Migration and Refugee Studies Lecture and Seminar Series, funded by the Jean Monnet grant. The series runs every 2 weeks, with online lectures from experts in different disciplines.
