The trend of deportation of convicted non-citizens to the Pacific has grown over the last decade, due to increasingly harsh deportation punitive measures placed on non-citizens, known as crimmigration. When further parole-like policies and legislation are placed upon the returnee once they have completed their sentence and have been returned to their country of origin, it is known as ‘crimmigration creep’. ‘Crimmigration creep’ has been seen in the New Zealand Returning Offenders (Management and Information) Act (2015), and appears to be proposed in the similar Samoan Returning Offenders Bill (2019). This article tests the diffusion of ‘crimmigration creep’ to understand how international relations norm diffusion theory can be applied to border criminology concepts. This is done within a norm circulation model, and by testing the normative strength of ‘crimmigration creep’ in Samoa.

在过去的十年中，由于对非公民采取的日益严厉的驱逐惩罚措施，即被称为犯罪移民，被定罪的非公民驱逐到太平洋的趋势有所增加。一旦返回者完成了刑罚并返回原籍国后，又对假释者采取了类似假释的政策和立法，这就是所谓的“犯罪爬行”。在《新西兰回归者（管理和信息）法》（2015年）中已经看到了``移民蠕变''，并且在类似的《萨摩亚回归者法案》（2019年）中也提出了这一建议。本文测试了“犯罪蠕变”的扩散，以了解国际关系规范扩散理论如何应用于边界犯罪学概念。这是在规范循环模型中完成的，
