Stories have persuasive powers: they can influence how a person
thinks and acts. Inside Story explores the capacity of stories to
direct our thinking, heighten our emotions, and thereby motivate
people to do harm to others and to tolerate harm done by others.
From terrorist violence to "mere" complacency with
institutionalized harm, the book weds case study to
cross-disciplinary theory. It builds upon timely work in the field
of narrative criminology and provides a thorough analysis of how
stories can promote or inhibit harmful action. By offering a
sociological analysis of the emotional yet intersubjective
experience of dangerous stories, the book fleshes out the
perplexing mechanics of cultural influence on crime and other forms
of harm.
