Annika Lindberg Shahram Khosravi and Victoria Canning give a talk for the Border Criminologies series on 22nd January 2019. Northern European approaches to immigration are in flux. In Denmark, Sweden and the UK, legislation and policy have seen gradual shifts toward intensified policing and internalised restrictions in welfare allowance, housing benefits and civil liberties. In the aftermath of the increase in asylum applications in 2015, the rights of migrants were curtailed through a series of legal amendments, including restrictions in family reunification and employment rights, whilst expectations for migrant integration continued and - in many areas of welfare and support – allocated funding reduced. This workshop brings together scholars and activists working on or affected by borders. Victoria Canning (University of Bristol), Shahram Khosravi (Stockholm University) and Annika Lindberg (University of Bern) highlight the exacerbations in harmful practice, including the use of immigration detention, welfare restrictions and deportation, and the implications these have on migrant groups. Drawing from various research and activist projects, each will outline key issues in contemporary border regimes in Scandinavia and the UK.

Border Criminologies brings together academics, practitioners and those who have experienced border control from around the world. Showcasing original research from a range of perspectives, we hope to better understand the effect of border control and to explore alternatives. Through an emphasis on visual resources and first hand accounts we hope to flesh out our understanding of the lived experience of law and policy and to develop the emerging field of inquiry into border control within criminology.
