Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to this Special Issue of Social Sciences, “Crimmigration in the Age of COVID-19”. In recent years, scholarship about the criminalization and securitization of immigration has grown in response to escalating nationalism and right populism in the United States, the UK, and the European Union. The closing of borders has been on the vanguard of growing authoritarian power, racism and the social control of mobility.
This Special Issue will inquire into how COVID-19 has forced new understandings on crimmigration law & politics, including but not limited to new surveillance governmentalities, detention strategies, harsh exclusions, and the reconfiguring of external and internal borders. It will focus on the disproportionate injuries, trauma, and deaths in migrant communities of color, stemming from intersections of crimmigration & border criminologies, public health and national security. Interdisciplinary approaches representing social theory, qualitative and quantitative empirical research & methods, and legal studies are particularly welcome.
Prof. Robert Koulish
