This groundbreaking anthology examines the phenomenon of crime and our
historical understanding – and misunderstanding – of the criminal
mind through the lens of the humanities, unpacking foundational
concepts in criminology and criminal investigative analysis through
disciplines such as the visual arts, cultural studies, religious
studies, and comparative literature. Edited by two key figures in this
burgeoning field who are also pre-eminent experts in both forensic
semiotics and literary criminology, this book breathes new life into
the humanities disciplines by using them as a collective locus for the
study of everything from serial homicide, sexual disorders, and police
recruiting and corruption to the epistemology of criminal insanity.
Using a multidisciplinary framework that traverses myriad pedagogies
and invokes a number of methodologies, this anthology boasts chapters
written by some of the world’s key scholars working at the
crossroads of crime, media, and culture as broadly defined.
