Apresentação

This paper uncovers the workings of crimmigration controls in Britain and ways in which it impacts illegalised migrant women and families. It addresses the imprisonment and punishment of migrant women, their treatment by the criminal justice system, and separation from children who were placed in foster care. Situating the work within black feminist and intersectional scholarship, the author argues that controls in Britain disrupt the core principles of reproductive justice, including reproductive autonomy and health, and to parent children in a safe and healthy environment without fear of retaliation from the government. This is being termed as racist-gendered state violence.

Nota biográfica

Dr Monish Bhatia is an academic at the University of York, Sociology Department. He researches and teaches in the areas of race, migration, and state violence. Monish has published several articles and book chapters, and is the co-editor of numerous books and issues including (and to list a few)  Migration and Racist State Violence (State Crime Journal, 2022), Borders, Racisms and State Violence (Critical Criminology Journal, 2020), and Race, Mental Health and State Violence (Journal of Race & Class, 2021). Monish received the best article award from the British Criminology Society’s Hate Crime Network for the article Permission to be Cruel: Street-Level Bureaucrats and Harms Against People Seeking Asylum (published in Critical Criminology journal, 2020). His recent co-authored article called Immigration Raids and Racist State Violence, can be found on the State Crime Journal website (free to access). Monish's work on electronic tagging in the migration arena was one of the few globally to uncover the impacts of ankle monitors on migrants and people seeking asylum. Since last year and after the failed Rwanda forced deportation attempt, he has openly criticised the British government's policy of using GPS monitoring devices in migration arena and has supported various charities campaigning on the issue.
