Mary Francesca Bosworth

Mary Francesca Bosworth is an Australian criminologist and Professor of Criminology at the University of Oxford who founded and co-directs the international research network Border Criminologies. Her scholarship examines immigration detention and its intersection with race, gender, and citizenship, including her 2014 book Inside Immigration Detention, which studies how detained individuals negotiate the institutional constraints of confinement and how that confinement compounds their prior experience of poverty, violence, and abuse. She served as UK editor in chief of the journal Theoretical Criminology from 2009 to 2024.
