Abstract
This chapter explores legal and policy transfers in the area of immigration detention and their impact on child migrants. It uses as a case study the apparent borrowing of these regressive immigration control measures between the United States and Australia. It also examines the subsequent spread of rights-sensitive case management Alternatives to Detention (ATD) models.
