The Poetics of Crime provides an invitation to reconsider and
reimagine how criminological knowledge may be creatively and
poetically constructed, obtained, corroborated and applied.
Departing from the conventional understanding of criminology as a
discipline concerned with refined statistical analyses, survey
methods and quantitative measurements, this book shows that
criminology can - and indeed should - move beyond such confines to
seek sources of insight, information and knowledge in the
unexplored corners of poetically and creatively inspired approaches
and methodologies. With chapters illustrating the ways in which
criminologists and other researchers or practitioners working on
crime-related questions can find inspiration in a variety of
unconventional materials, writing styles and analytical strategies,
The Poetics of Crime offers studies of police photography, classic
and contemporary literature, silver screen movies, performative
dance enactments and media images. As such, this volume opens up
the field of criminological research to alternative and novel
sources of knowledge about crime, its perpetrators and victims,
authorities, motives and justice. It will therefore appeal not only
to sociologists, social theorists and criminologists, but to
scholars across disciplines with interests in crime, deviance and
innovative approaches to social research.
