Description: 

This session addresses the nexus between criminalization and marginalized people, and/or criminalization as it serves to produce marginality. For example, papers submitted to the session could pertain to the criminalization of unhoused people, the criminalization of reproductive choices, or the intersections between race, criminalization, and the incidence of environmental hazards. These are only a few of the possible angles that could be taken up in this session. We welcome submissions that analyze dynamics pertaining to vulnerability and criminalization in multiple ways.
