Borderline Crime Fugitive Criminals and the Challenge of the Border, 1819-1914

‘Miller’s excellent book is a welcome addition to work on extradition examining everyday legal practices and their underlying jurisprudence foundations... It provides an important study into the intersection between international, British imperial and Canadian law.’

"An important and helpful book for legal historians of the Canada-US border, [Borderline Crime] lays a framework for examining how the border was interpreted as a legal and political entity during its most formative years in the nineteenth century. "

"This is a scholarly, closely argued book, but it will have appeal to a wide audience. Bradley Miller illustrates his themes with engaging and entertaining examples and writes clearly and concisely...Borderline Crime should become required reading in colonial, early Canadian, and North American international and diplomatic history."
