Mary Bosworth

Mary Bosworth, a criminology professor at Oxford University and co-director of Border Criminologies, discusses her new book on the UK’s immigration detention and deportation system. She reveals how this system, likened to a supply chain, dehumanizes individuals, reducing them to mere logistical items. Bosworth critiques the bureaucratic language that obscures the humanity of detainees and the financial motivations driving harsh border policies. Through her extensive research, she explores the complexities of border enforcement and envisions an inclusive approach to immigration.
