Abstract
ABSTRACT In this article, I draw on ongoing qualitative research on immigration detention and deportation in the UK, to explore the contribution of criminology to debates over citizenship. I pay particular attention to the interdependence of the state and the private sector in enforcing border control, examining how public-private collaboration both legitimates but also depends on a shifting, racialised criminalisation of foreigners. In so doing, I show how the criminal justice system has been put to work in defining and restricting the membership of the community of value within the UK.
期刊介绍:
Citizenship Studies publishes internationally recognised scholarly work on contemporary issues in citizenship, human rights and democratic processes from an interdisciplinary perspective covering the fields of politics, sociology, history and cultural studies. It seeks to lead an international debate on the academic analysis of citizenship, and also aims to cross the division between internal and academic and external public debate. The journal focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of citizenship, and treats citizenship as a strategic concept that is central in the analysis of identity, participation, empowerment, human rights and the public interest.
