Immigration Detention and Social Harm : The Collateral Impacts of Migrant Incarceration by Michelle Peterie

Video Abstract for 'Immigration Detention and Social Harm' - Dr Michelle PeterieThis interdisciplinary edited collection is the first internationally to comprehensively explore the harms immigration detention imposes beyond the `detainee'. Bringing together research from North America, the UK, Europe and Australia, it shows how the harms immigration detention imposes ramify beyond singular bodies, moments and locations - reverberating through families and communities and echoing across time. The book is structured in three parts. Part One: Human Costs examines the harms immigration detention imposes on people who are not personally incarcerated, but whose lives are nonetheless entangled with detention regimes. Part Two: Societal Consequences highlights the corrosive impacts of immigration detention at the societal level, including the role migrant incarceration plays in naturalising and perpetuating inequalities and injustices. Part Three: Ending the Harm interrogates the possibilities of detention reform and detention abolition. This book will be a key reference text for scholars and students in the social and behavioural sciences who are interested in immigration detention, human rights and/or incarceration.
