Opis

This book offers a zemiological approach for understanding border control practices, state power, and their social impact.

Recenzje

The nexus between borders, harm and criminology has harvested complex debates. In this richly conceptual and empirical text, Francesca Soliman addresses substantive gaps so we can better understand and progress discussion and action from a solid zemiological perspective. Essential for anyone interested in the prolific harms of borders, and their human and environmental costs.'

Victoria Canning, Associate Professor in Criminology, University of Bristol

'Francesca Soliman’s book presents an engaging and vivid account of various social harms that can occur within border spaces. It challenges standard criminological thinking on what constitutes harmful behaviour, who is responsible for it, who is affected by such acts and in what ways, and how we should think and respond to them. The books is eloquent and effortless, and presents an original and indispensable contribution to the field of zemiology.'

Milena Tripkovic, Lecturer in Criminology, University of Edinburgh
