Dynamically written and richly illustrated, the Routledge
International Handbook of Visual Criminology offers the first
foundational primer on visual criminology. Spanning a variety of
media and visual modes, this volume assembles established
researchers whose work is essential to understanding the role of
the visual in criminology and emergent thinkers whose work is
taking visual criminology in new directions. This book is divided
into five parts that each highlight a key aspect of visual
criminology, exploring the diversity of methods, techniques and
theoretical approaches currently shaping the field: * Part I
introduces formative positions in the developments of visual
criminology and explores the different disciplines that have
contributed to analysing images. * Part II explores visual
representations of crime across film, graphic art, documentary,
police photography, press coverage and graffiti and urban
aesthetics. * Part III discusses the relationship of visual
criminology to criminal justice institutions like policing,
punishment and law. * Part IV focuses on the distinctive ethical
problems posed by the image, reflecting on the historical
development, theoretical disputes and methodological issues
involved. * Part V identifies new frameworks and emergent
perspectives and reflects upon the distinctive challenges and
limits that can be seen in this emerging field. This book includes
a vibrant colour plate section and over a hundred black and white
images, breaking down the barriers between original photography and
artwork, historic paintings and illustrations and modern comics and
films. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to
criminologists, sociologists, visual ethnographers, art historians
and those engaged with media studies.
