Cover Story: This research suggests that improving our understanding of the relationship between immigration-related insecurity and violence requires reconceptualising how we construct, measure, and analyse immigration-based characteristics. The article builds an analytical category of ‘insecure migration status’ that includes all forms of immigration status that internalise insecurity (which often incorporates gendered dynamics) in addition to being without status, or with an irregular status. I propose that grouping status around a common experience of insecurity permits a more comprehensive picture of migration-related harms that exist across states, status types, and borders while allowing researchers and data gatherers to be attentive to intersectional vulnerabilities that enhance insecurity for particular categories, subgroups, and populations.
