Global Crimes (Border Criminology)
- Course title: Global crimes (border criminology)
- Instructor: Valeria Ferraris
- Days: Thursday and Friday
- Time: 2-4 PM
Global Mobility
- Global movement of people and goods is a key feature of globalization
- Mobility represents both positive and negative aspects of globalization
- Mobility is a proxy for how globalization is perceived (good or bad)
Global Mobility (continued)
- People's mobility is a source of survival for national economies
- Remittances, tourism, and labor migration are examples

Global Mobility and Inequality
- Globalization results in a smaller world, but also a more unequal one
- Mobility brings hybridity, potentially threatening local communities
- Mobility patterns mirror inequality patterns
- Mobility is a stratified phenomenon.
Tourists and Vagabonds
- Tourists, often the globalized elite, move effortlessly
- Vagabonds, often the precarious poor, face burdensome and forced movement
- Tourists are outsiders but enjoy State protection; vagabonds are more marginalized
Global Mobility (historical context)
- Pre-1914: easy international movement without strict regulations (no passports, visas, etc.)
- Post-1914: significant restrictions on movement and civil rights, driven by mistrust and fear of foreigners (xenophobia)
- Parallels are drawn between restrictions on travelers and those placed on criminals
Global Mobility (what the quotation highlights)
- Legal aspects of borders change over time
- Building of borders and distrust of foreigners
- Concept of 'otherness' and the fear it generates
- Comparison of restrictions on travel with restrictions on criminals
Global Mobility (examples)
- Comparing travel experiences of different individuals (Italian in 1915, EU citizen today, Moroccan, Albanian) across different time periods and locations
- Comparing different types and motives of movement, such as from rural China to urban centers, or migration from Syria to Italy or Sweden, across the world
- Cases of women leaving Afghanistan before and after August 2021.
The Legal Dimension of Migration
- Mobility becomes migration due to legal frameworks
- Laws define and categorize migration, create concepts and classifications
- Without laws, it's simply movement, not migration
Global Mobility Control
- Optimistic views of a borderless world are perceived as mistaken
- 9/11 is seen as a turning point, but prior changes were already influencing mobility policy
- State apparatuses struggle to control contemporary mobility and this reflects symbolic laws and politics
Size of the World and Mobility Control
- The world's size is relative; some individuals see a smaller globalized world, other see a more fragmented one.
- Globalization led to stricter border controls.
- The protection of borders is intrinsically related to the social stratification of global communities, through border control mechanisms
Criminology of Mobility/Borders
- Focus on the social sciences and impact of globalization
- Studies inclusion and exclusion at borders of states
- Focus on issues around membership, belonging, identity, and power in relation to borders and movement
- The field builds on existing studies of race, ethnicity, and feminism (e.g., Policing the Crisis by Stuart Hall))
