在伦敦的外国罪犯面临从英国驱逐出境的民族志实地考察,本文旨在探讨外国罪犯的经验和理解国家的控制政策。在世界范围内,外国人越来越多地受到国家的监视,不仅是在跨越边境时,而且在他们停留在某个国家的领土上时。在地球仪的许多国家,拘留中心、每周或每月报告要求和电子监测已经成为与驱逐政策相结合的常见移民监视战略。这些形式的国家控制在法律上被认为是必要的行政做法,以控制身份仍在裁决中的外国国民,并强制驱逐不受欢迎的外国国民。因此,这些策略不是通过司法程序实施的,尽管在刑事监禁和监督的范围内也使用了同样的做法。驱逐出境和相关的国家监视的实际经验突出了拘留和相关保释条件的惩罚性和强制性影响。具有讽刺意味的是,但也许并非无意的是,那些被视为危险人物并受到监视和驱逐的人因此不断感到脆弱,需要保护。因为他们不认为自己对社会构成威胁,所以本研究采访的外国罪犯将国家监视理解为不是一种控制措施,而是对想要留下来的惩罚。在他们看来,这是为了迫使他们离开。对拘留和保释经验的审查揭示了这种形式的监视如何对可驱逐机构进行纪律处分。
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in London among foreign-national offenders facing deportation from the United Kingdom, this paper seeks to examine how foreign-national offenders experience and understand state policies of control. Worldwide, foreign-nationals are increasingly subject to forms of state surveillance, not just when crossing borders but also during their stay within a given state’s territory. Detention centres, weekly or monthly reporting requirements, and electronic monitoring are already common migrant surveillance strategies allied to deportation policies in many countries across the globe. These forms of state control are conceived legally as administrative practices necessary to control foreign-nationals whose status is still being adjudicated and to enforce the removal of unwanted foreign-nationals. Consequently, these strategies are not inflicted through a judicial process, even though these same practices are used within the context of penal incarceration and supervision. The lived experience of deportability and associated state surveillance highlights the punitive and coercive effects of detention and related conditions of bail. Ironically, but perhaps not unintentionally, those who are deemed a risk and subject to surveillance and banishment are therefore constantly feeling vulnerable and in need of protection. Because they do not consider themselves a risk to society, the foreign-national offenders interviewed for this study understand state surveillance not as a measure of control, but rather as punishment for wanting to stay. In their eyes, it is designed to coerce them to leave. An examination of the experiences of detention and bail reveals how such forms of surveillance work to discipline deportable bodies.
