Immigration Control as Revenue Regime: Mapping the Contours and Consequences

该项目与移民行动组织合作，重点关注收费制度与（敌对）移民控制政策之间的相互作用。它旨在解决此类研究的缺乏，同时研究“犯罪移民”作为理论框架的潜力，以促进通过收费制度调解的刑事定罪和移民执法之间关系的评估。在进行任何实证工作之前（例如，与移民、律师、第三部门代表、法定和地方当局机构代表进行定性访谈），将寻求研究伦理批准。申请人将由其主管团队提供支持，该团队在解决研究敏感问题时产生的广泛的研究人员安全和健康问题方面具有相关经验；移民行动提供的支持（包括进行面试的办公场所——受COVID-19限制）。

In collaboration with Migrant Action, the project focuses on the interplay between charging regimes and(hostile) immigration control policies. It aims to address the paucity of such research, whilst examining the potential of 'crimmigration' as a theoretical framework to facilitate an assessment of the relationship between criminalisation and immigration enforcement mediated through charging regimes.Research ethics approval will be sought prior to undertaking any empirical work (e.g. qualitative interviews with migrants, lawyers, third-sector representatives, representatives of statutory and local authority agencies). The applicant will be supported by her supervisory team, who have relevant experience in addressing a broad range of researcher safety and wellbeing issues arising from researching sensitive issues; augmented by support provided by Migrant Action (including office space to conduct interviews - subject to COVID-19 restrictions).
