Abstract

This paper reports on a qualitative study of young people’s emotional responses to crime, underpinned by cultural criminology and interpretive phenomenology. It uses alternative approaches to explore young people’s ‘fears’ of crime via the use of arts-based methods, specifically performative drama and focus groups. The rationale is rooted in young people’s voices being largely absent from fear of crime research and the increased movement towards a more creative and less prescriptive criminology. The findings point towards the value of such approaches and argue that young people’s emotions about crime become highly gendered and age-relevant in youth and have multiple, overlapping spheres that are culturally constructed, resisted and reproduced.

抵抗和生殖：对年轻人对犯罪的情感反应的基于艺术的调查

摘要

本文以文化犯罪学和解释现象学为基础，对青少年对犯罪的情感反应进行了定性研究。通过使用基于艺术的方法，特别是表演戏剧和焦点小组，它使用替代方法来探索年轻人对犯罪的“恐惧”。其基本原理是，年轻人对犯罪研究的恐惧以及对更具创造性和较少说明性的犯罪学的日益增强的运动，在很大程度上没有年轻人的声音。研究结果指出了这种方法的价值，并认为年轻人对犯罪的情感在青年时代变得高度性别化并且与年龄相关，并且在文化上构造，抵制和再现了多个重叠的领域。
