This book serves as a crucial bridge between the rapidly expanding fields of Border Criminology and Zemiology, delving into the intricate realm of social harm. While much of the research on borders tends to revolve around the experiences of migrants and the individuals employed in border control agencies, this book takes a unique approach by exploring the communities that are deeply impacted by migration. By examining the multifaceted consequences of migration on these communities, the book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between migration, crime, and social well-being.

Through comprehensive analysis and empirical evidence, the book sheds light on the various ways in which migration affects individuals, families, and communities. It explores the challenges faced by these communities, such as economic displacement, cultural clashes, and social marginalization, and examines the strategies employed by them to adapt and cope with these changes. The book also examines the role of government policies, law enforcement practices, and social services in addressing the challenges posed by migration and promoting social cohesion.

By providing a multidisciplinary perspective, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics surrounding border regions and their inhabitants. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working in the fields of border security, migration management, and social welfare. Moreover, the book serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and inclusive policies in addressing the challenges posed by migration and fostering a more harmonious and prosperous society.
