AUSTRÁLIA, DISCURSO CRIMINOLÓGICO, IMIGRAÇÃO, REFUGIADO, SEGURANÇA, SOCIEDADE

This article seeks to apply mainstream criminalogical discourses to refugee policy, using Australia's refugee policy as a case study. Notions of security, ethnicity, race, social exclusion and xenophobia are all well established within various criminological discourses. This article aims to show that the use of similar discourses in both the criminological and refugee spheres is increasingly prevalent and helps to justify restrictive refugee practices within the context of societal security.
