This book illustrates the importance of conflicting narratives in
understanding and dealing with crime, based on a variety of
cutting-edge research. Offenders tell stories about crime and
punishment, as do policemen, judges and defence lawyers, but so do
politicians and the media. Each tells them very differently and
only some stories are believed, while others are rejected as
implausible leading to conflict. This book explores how these
conflicts are carried out and what relationships exist between
(often unquestioned) master narratives and (sometimes loud,
sometimes silent) counter-narratives? These are questions of
central importance for criminology which have thus far received
little attention. This edited collection is international and
interdisciplinary in scope, providing empirical insights from such
diverse contexts as (social) media, newspapers, comics, police
interrogations, social and criminal justice settings, and museum
exhibitions. By including contributions from a wide spectrum of
academic disciplines and using different methodological approaches,
it is of particular interest to students and researchers in
criminology and sociology, as well as to scholars of socio-legal
studies.
