This timely volume takes sharp aim at institutions that continue to
marginalize the vulnerable, and, in doing so, it makes important
advances for Studies in Transgression. Toward that end, an
impressive roster of international contributors demonstrates the
global implications of border—and social—control.

Immigration Policy in the Age of Punishment identifies the sharp
edges of Western efforts to make life difficult for migrants.
Importantly, it does so in part by doing what many books fail to
do: expanding its gaze away from a narrow concern about the
boundaries of nation-states. Reaching into fields as disparate as
geography and sociology, these essays will begin to define the
field of critical immigration enforcement studies.

This innovative book captures the changing nature of global
migration and immigration policies, critiquing and contextualizing
them for readers. Theoretically rich, Immigration Policy in the Age
of Punishment is one of the more thorough efforts to draw important
connections between mainstream aspects of U.S. criminal
justice—such as hyper-incarceration and the self-reinforcing,
self-fulfilling “tough on crime” approaches—and the criminalization
of immigration.

An impressive collection of scholarship written by international
experts on immigration policy.
