In den letzten Jahrzehnten hat das Interesse an der Untersuchung der Wiedereingliederung von Gefangenen, der Bewährungshilfe und der Auswirkungen der Inhaftierung auf das Gemeinschaftsleben zugenommen.

Das fehlende Wissen über das Geschlecht als wichtige Variable bei der Wiedereingliederung hat Interventionsinitiativen erheblich eingeschränkt.

Due to the importance of borders as defining feature for statehood, states deploy measures and infrastructure to secure their borders and manage cross-border movements. To this end, governments resort not only to physical barriers but also to mechanisms such as visa requirements, consulates, and airline officers. They also benefit from digital technologies and “smart borders.” They even need the engagement of third countries to control the mobility and security of their borders.15 Following these developments, this paper aims to examine how the concept of the border has been transformed and discuss how states respond to the challenges posed by increased mobility.
