In the absence of sympathy: serious criminal offenders and the impact of border control measures

Abstract

This chapter considers the issues that arise in working with 'non-sympathetic' serious non-citizen offenders who are awaiting deportation. Specifically it considers the challenges in engaging with a broader audience (public, policy) to consider the impact of deportation, when this group of offenders is deemed as a threat to the community and as such, removal from Australia is considered by many to be 'a good outcome' despite the fact that citizen-offenders are not treated with this double punishment of imprisonment and removal from their home and family.
