Immigration Detention and Social Harm
This interdisciplinary edited collection is the first internationally to comprehensively explore the harms immigration detention imposes beyond the ‘detainee’. Bringing together research from North America, the UK, Europe and Australia, it shows how the harms immigration detention imposes ramify beyond singular bodies, moments and locations – reverberating through families and communities and echoing across time. The book is structured in three parts. Part One: Human Costs, examines the harms immigration detention imposes on people who are not personally incarcerated, but whose lives are nonetheless entangled with detention regimes. Part Two: Societal Consequences highlights the corrosive impacts of immigration detention at the societal level, including the role migrant incarceration plays in naturalising and perpetuating inequalities and injustices. Part Three: Ending the Harm interrogates the possibilities of detention reform and detention abolition. This book will be a key reference text for scholars and students in the social and behavioural sciences who are interested in immigration detention, human rights and/or incarceration.
Immigration Detention and Social Harm
Immigration detention has significant negative impacts on detainees' physical, emotional and social health. Though these harms are well documented, as are the conditions and practices that contribute to them, the collateral harms that immigration detention regimes impose have received comparatively little attention. These radiating impacts are the focus of this book. Bringing together research from the UK, the US and Australia, this interdisciplinary collection is the first book to comprehensively explore the harms that immigration detention imposes beyond the detainee - documenting the experiences of detainees' families, friends, supporters and communities, as well as staff and healthcare professionals working within detention systems. These chapters paint an evocative picture of immigration detention facilities as carceral institutions that impose punishment beyond the detainee, taking a wider view as it interrogates the economic, moral, democratic and legal costs of incarcerating migrants, and exploring how detention policies and practices contribute to the maintenance of global injustices and racial inequalities. Applying a gender and race lens to immigration detention, Immigration Detention and Social Harm argues that calls for detention reform must be replaced by bolder demands for detention abolition - positing that harm is so embedded in immigration detention systems that reform is no longer possible.
The Palgrave Handbook of Social Harm
This handbook explores the concept of 'harm' in criminological scholarship and lays the foundation for a future zemiological agenda. 'Social harm' as a theoretical construct has become established as an alternative, broader lens through which to understand the causation and alleviation of widespread harm in society, thus moving beyond criminology and state definitions of crime and extending the range of criminological research. Applying zemiological concepts, this book comprehensively explores topics including violence, moral indifference, workplace injury, corporate and state harms, animal rights, migration, gender, poverty, security and victimisation. This definitive work covers theory, research, scholarship and future visions across four sections, and includes contributions from areas such as criminology, sociology, socio-legal and cultural studies, social policy and international relations. It offers readers up-to-date, original theoretical perspectives and an analysis of a broad range of issues from a 'social harm' perspective.
