- Summary
- Meticulously research and elegantly written, Border Crimes argues that Australia's treatment of asylum seekers as `illegal immigrants' should itself be regarded as criminal - as state crime. Mike Grewcock marshals the evidence irrefutably; after reading his account, `boat people' will never again appear as suspected illegal entrants.
