For this assignment you are asked to review a Home Office policy document:

econtent/documents/managingourborders/crime-strategy/protecng-border.pdf?view=Binary

you are asked to make a
judgement on the policy put forward by the UK government in 2010. Make sure you comment
crically on the document. Idenfy the purpose, the main points, and the polical movaons
behind the policy. Then evaluate them. Think about the arcles and chapters that you have read,
what are the results of this policy? What impact has it had? Was it a good policy? A bad one? Was it
well informed? Are there any unstated assumpons in the document? Are there any addional
purposes of the policy that are not explicitly stated?
We want to know your opinion, BUT, you must always back it up with academic sources. If you think
it was a great policy, why? Who else supports this? What research has shown the posive impact of
it? If you disagree with the policy, also, why? Have any academics provided evidence of a negave
impact of it in their research? Tell us about it.
