PhD Candidate Brandy Cochrane recently presented a research mapping exercise of those who have died whilst crossing borders to Australia and in Europe at the 2013 Australia and New Zealand Society of Criminology Conference in Brisbane. In developing her map, Brandy used BOb’s Australian Border Deaths Database and an EU equivalent from United Against Racism, to look at areas of origin and deaths at the borders of those attempting to make the perilous migration journey.
A consequence of border securitization is that migrants from certain areas of origin are proportionately more likely to die in the borderlands during migration attempts.
