The haunting effects of crime, violence, and death in our history,
memory, and media spaces From Abu Ghraib and Holocaust death camps
to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and slave plantations,
spaces where violent crimes have occurred can often become forever
changed, or "haunted," in the public imagination. In this volume,
Michael Fiddler, Travis Linnemann, and Theo Kindynis bring together
an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars to study this
phenomenon, exploring the origins, theory, and methodology of ghost
criminology. Featuring Jeff Ferrell, Michelle Brown, Eamon
Carrabine, and other prominent scholars, Ghost Criminology takes us
inside spaces where the worst crimes have imprinted themselves on
our history, memory, and media spaces. Contributors explore a wide
range of these hauntological topics from a criminological
perspective, including the excavation of graffiti in the London
underground, the phantom of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, NC,
during the 2017 riots, and the ghostly evidentiary traces of crime
in motel rooms. Ultimately, Fiddler, Kindynis, and Linnemann offer
ghost criminology as another way of seeing, and better
understanding, the lingering impact of violence, oppression, and
history in today's world. Ghost Criminology curates cutting-edge
research to break exciting new terrain.
