Ana Aliverti
Professor of Law, University of Warwick
I am a professor of criminal law and criminal justice. My work looks at the intersection of criminal law and criminal justice with border regimes and explores their impact on institutions and on those subject to the resulting controls. I am a 2017 Philip Leverhulme Prize winner. My research examines questions of citizenship and belonging in criminal justice, law's instrumental and symbolic power for boundary drawing and the place of morality in state power. I concluded a project on the policing of migration, which investigated the growing cooperation between immigration enforcement and the police and explored the new contours of law enforcement in the context of globalization.
EXPs by Ana Aliverti
Crimmigration describes the merging of criminal and immigration law, creating a punitive system for migrants that lacks criminal justice safeguards and protections.
Border workers face significant moral challenges in terms of the work that they do, particularly in terms of the exercise of violence.
A misconception in relation to citizenship, I think, is this idea of citizenship as a closed status that divides people, in terms of status in increasingly cosmopolitan societies.
