Whereas criminal justice processes are considered to constitute ways for the state to sanction breaches of the ‘social contract’,1 migration control is considered to be a process by which states can regulate entry to the polity – and, potentially, to the social contract – in the first place. The idea that states are in charge of criminal justice and migration control as such is not revolutionary. It is, for example, common to speak about the sovereign state’s ‘monopoly’ of crime control.2 Likewise, the control of cross- border migration has to some extent always been within the ambit of sovereign power given that it is intrinsically based on notions of sovereign territory and borders that delineate the geographical spheres of influence of sovereign states.3 In turn, in addition to the use of other mechanisms, many states utilise migration control and criminal justice in attempting to provide domestic safety and security. Indeed, for the pursuit of safety and security, it has become reflexive to turn to the public authorities governing the territory in which one is residing.

I doubt I could have completed this without her steering me in the right direction. Several other people were kind enough to assist me in the process of writing this capstone. I am grateful to Kevin McGahan of the National University of Singapore and Melissa Phillips of the University of Melbourne for giving me access to their work for my research, and to Susan Banki of the University of Sydney and Douglas Johnson of Harvard University for providing advice on earlier versions of the project. This capstone draws upon a previous assignment I completed for a class at the Fletcher School taught by James Fry of the University of Hong Kong, and I greatly appreciate Professor Fry’s guidance on that paper.
