Community-oriented copaganda: Anti-Black violence in a visual archive of policing Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Amanda M Petersen
Like legitimacy crises of the past, recent high-profile murders of Black individuals by the police have led to renewed crises of police legitimacy. As a response to both the racialized violence and the subsequent legitimacy crisis, community-oriented policing is once again being heralded as a bi-partisan solution to the problem. In this article, I situate such a solution as in alignment with, rather

The Clansman, the Lynchings, and Enduring Racial Violence in Performance Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 David Ollington
Performance can incite conflict. An artist may depict a demagogue as a martyr, ridicule a group of people, or justify violence.

Guerrilla gardening as normalised law-breaking: Challenges to land ownership and aesthetic order Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2022-04-14 Andrew Millie
This article considers guerrilla gardening that involves taking on other people’s land for gardening, usually without their permission. It is a practice that is overlooked largely by criminology, yet it can tell us something about attitudes to law and land ownership and challenges the approved aesthetic order of where we live. It can soften the look and feel of the city, leading to a different emotional

“The darkest time in our history”: An analysis of news media constructions of liquor theft in Canada’s settler colonial context Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2022-04-14 Steven Kohm, Katharina Maier
In September 2018, there was a surge of news stories about liquor store theft in Winnipeg, Canada that resulted in public and political calls for action, and ultimately led to the introduction of a range of new security and surveillance measures at government owned liquor stores.

From dealing to influencing: Online marketing of cannabis on Instagram Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2022-04-11 Silje Anderdal Bakken, Sidsel Kirstine Harder
In this paper we argue that legal and technological shifts in cannabis marketing has a gendered impact, which research so far has ignored. Despite high variations in national criminal laws, US-based social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter play a huge role in enforcing certain social and political standpoints on a global scale. One example being the recent legalization and commercialization

There are dozens of public police museums located across Canada that memorialize the country’s history of law enforcement and criminalization.

While media attention has focused on the visceral brutality of police chokeholds, less noticed are the breath-taking effects of air pollution caused by the (in)actions of state agencies dedicated to environmental protection.

Taking responsibility: Testimonial practices in Rithy Panh’s S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2021-11-02 Maria Elander
Genocide films have long contributed to public criminology’s exploration into ethics, responsibility and witnessing after atrocity. Whereas post-Holocaust theorisations of testimony have focused on victim testimony (and its limits), a recent wave of documentary films are instead centering on the perpetrators of atrocity. These are raising the question of how to engage with that shared by a person who

The cultural scope and criminological potential of the “hardman story” Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2021-10-29 Louise Tanya Wattis
The true crime genre has become synonymous with the serial killer. As such, other narratives dealing with different types of violent criminal subjects have been overlooked in academic and media analyses. The following article explores a subgenre of true crime which has been overlooked—the life story of the violent criminal or “hardman biography.” However, in acknowledging the hardman, the discussion

Making new meanings: The entextualisation of digital communications evidence in English sexual offences trials Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2021-09-28 Ellen Daly
There have been growing concerns about the malleability of digital communications evidence and its potential to reinforce embedded rape myths and cultural narratives that undermine victim-survivors in sexual offences trials. There is however a paucity of research exploring this issue in practice, and none in England and Wales. This article therefore uses two case studies, drawn from court observation

Crime dystopia is the cultural site where some of the most gripping fears around the failure to order, civilise and make life secure are expressed.

Do-it-yourself surveillance: The practices and effects of WhatsApp Neighbourhood Crime Prevention groups Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2021-08-23 Ronald van Steden, Shanna Mehlbaum
WhatsApp Neighbourhood Crime Prevention (WNCP) groups are popular in the Netherlands. As a basic assumption, this kind of digital neighbourhood watch could prevent crime, but what is the evidence? Drawing on a mixture of qualitative research and a review of additional publications, we conclude that WNCP groups stimulate social cohesion rather than prevent crime. We reach our conclusion by applying

In her study of violent protagonists in American literature, Wilson-Scott argues that “mothers are frequently used as the principle traumatizing factor, demonized and depersonalized in order to reassert their violent offspring’s humanity” (p. 191). Further, Wilson-Scott states that her work “reveals the persistent assumption that mothers make monsters” (p. 193). Taking our tacit agreement with Wilson-Scott

The first half of this article makes that case for, and develops, a preliminary conceptual framework for a ‘musicriminology’. A response to recent provocations for a more sensorially orientated criminology, and more general appeals for cultural criminology to engage rigorously with popular music and sound, a musicriminology could constitute significant contribution to the cultural criminological field

Recent scholarship has explored the potential of subcultural theory for understanding the convergence of Western street and jihadi subcultures. The role of jihadi rap in this radical hybrid culture, however, is yet uncharted. We argue that subcultural analysis allows an understanding of the aesthetic fascination of jihadism, sometimes referred to as jihadi cool, and that jihadi rap should be seen as

This paper explores how digital media can cause the representational value of rap artists to be transformed. Ubiquitous access to digital recording, production and distribution technologies grants rappers an unprecedented degree of representational autonomy, meaning they are able to integrate the street aesthetic into their lyrics and music videos, and thus create content that offers a more authentic

This study focuses on the social construction of gangs in Czechia. Although the country is not usually associated with the activities of street gangs, the adoption of gang representations is evident in this context, including the use of the gang label itself. In order to capture the gang glocalization process, I employ the concept of translation, whereby glocalization is conceptualized as a complex

Chapter Seven concludes the book with macro, meso and micro levels of analysis. At the macro level, film is understood to be a powerful resource that informs public opinion. We Are Monster and Everyday were seen as providing a voice for marginalised groups and exploring the realities of prison life. However, depictions of violent prisoners legitimise the carceral turn. At the meso level, it was understood

Police as cop show viewers Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal (IF 1.868) Pub Date : 2021-04-09 Antony Stephenson
Despite the popularity of Australian television drama and reality series featuring police, there has been a paucity of research into what these programs communicate about real world policing. These ‘cop shows’ are productive forms of public relations for police agencies, particularly the co-produced reality TV variety, and as such are valuable broadcasting and policing commodities. As complex audio-visual
