Outsourcing Crimmigration Control develops a new theoretical framework for understanding how digital technologies can transform border control and criminal justice practices. Presenting original evidence, this book discusses the potential risks and serious political effects of surveillance technologies, despite their apparent neutrality.
Review Quotes: "This is a timely examination of how migration control is increasingly shaped by digital technology, outsourced governance and criminal justice logic. ..The empirical heart of the book is a detailed case study of the International Organization for Migration's system, known as the Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS), used in Nigeria. ..The book is an important reminder that when governance is outsourced to code, the consequences remain profoundly human." -- Sally Azarmi, The Law Society Gazette
