CINETS is an international network dedicated to the critical study of crimmigration: the entanglement of criminal law, migration control, borders, citizenship, security, and social exclusion. We bring together scholars, practitioners, artists, activists, and others to examine how migration is governed through punishment, detention, deportation, surveillance, racialization, and bureaucratic control and to foster rigorous, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged conversations about justice, democracy, mobility, and human dignity.
Bi-annual conferences and workshops bring scholars, practitioners, artists, and advocates into sustained crimmigration exchange.
Researchers trace how criminal law, migration control, citizenship, and border regimes converge across jurisdictions.
Fieldwork and legal-empirical methods examine detention, deportation, policing, externalisation, and border violence.
The network circulates books, articles, policy analysis, public writing, and conference archives for wider debate.
