Abstract:

This article investigates the contemporary fascination with true crime narratives, an subject which is fast becoming a central area of interest in crime fiction studies. As the overarching genre of crime fiction itself becomes the most read literature genre, not to mention its growing popularity in other popular cultural mediums – TV, film, documentary, podcast, blogs, etc., true crime – which has always been a popular sub-genre – is arguably moving centre stage aligned to our recent obsession with the real life figure of the serial killer. The usual discussions of both individual and collective obsession and fascination with such topics, is generally limited to arguments within conscious parameters of ethical choice, This paper will explore an alterative reading that introduces the Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts of the sinthome and jouissance, and argues that any reading of these topics cannot be contained within conceptions of rationality and ethical choice.

Abstract:

The incorporation of thematic and formal references to true-crime texts in recent British and Irish crime novels shows fiction authors acknowledging that they share an audience with true-crime podcasts, documentaries and books. At the same time, these authors assert the particular contribution that fiction makes to the raising of awareness of both real-world crime and its representations. Examples considered include novels by Ruth Rendell, Denise Mina and Catherine Ryan Howard.

Abstract:

Digital platforms have heralded a renaissance in true crime production and engagement, providing previously marginalised voices with opportunities to challenge longstanding – and often problematic – genre conventions. Whilst significant consideration has been given to professional streaming platforms and aural user-generated mediums such as podcasts, few studies have explored visual user-generated content such as that appearing on YouTube. In order to explore these new but increasingly popular forms, we focus on the videos of Stephanie Soo, Samantha Taylor and Bailey Sarian, who combine true crime narratives with the popular YouTube staples of Mukbang, ASMR and makeup tutorial videos. Our work examines the repercussions of true crime becoming a unique selling point within these YouTube subgenres and considers the ethical consequences of using the true crime genre’s paradigms to bring greater attention, likes and subscribers to established YouTube channels. We observe that these videos are contradictory documents which provide a potentially empowering outlet for female-led true crime while simultaneously replicating the troubling trends that have marked the genre as a space in which the bodies of victims are often exploited as entertainment.

Abstract:

Consumption of true crime podcasts has shot up in recent years, with a majority of listeners being female. There are many things which might draw women to these pieces of media. Women who previously reported elevated levels of fear of violent crime have taken to viewing true crime as a safety measure, wanting to become educated on the stories of others in an effort to not become victims themselves. Many women report feeling more confident that they would know how to avoid or get out of a dangerous situation after learning the details of previous crimes. Production and consumption of true crime media can also lead to increased feelings of justice and a desire to speak out about personal experience or societal and systemic issues. Studies have also been done on the effect of hearing women’s voices on true crime podcasts and its relation to the visualization of mutilation in true crime stories. While earlier studies argue that audiences of true crime media have more anxiety and trepidation around violent crime, I argue that true crime podcasts have many psychological benefits, specifically for women. In their podcast, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark tell murder stories with comedic commentary, including advice about how to avoid meeting the same fate as the victims they speak of. Following the success of the podcast, the hosts published Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered: The Definitive How-To Guide, condensing their tips into book form and sharing their own experiences with true crime. Using select episodes from the podcast as well as the book, I will prove that participating in these audio spaces improves feelings that women have agency over their lives, giving them an awareness of what’s happening around them that makes them savvier, helps them notice patterns, and allows them to break out of the dangerous mold society has placed them in.

Abstract:

True perpetrators—those who commit crimes that others were wrongfully convicted of—are a danger to society. Left unapprehended, these individuals often continue to commit crimes that could have otherwise been avoided. Despite the risk they pose, only about half of true perpetrators in DNA exoneration cases have been identified. Further, only 50% of those who have been identified have been charged with the wrongful conviction crime(s) they committed. Previous research on wrongful convictions, prosecutorial discretion in charging decisions, and prosecutors’ treatment of post-conviction innocence claims provide a starting point for investigating what factors underlie the identification and charging of true perpetrators. To explore these factors, we analyze 367 DNA exoneration cases and the resulting 161 identified true perpetrators. Results revealed that prosecutorial misconduct as a contributor to the wrongful conviction decreased the odds that a true perpetrator would be identified, but the odds increased if the victim was White and the exoneree was Black compared to if both were White. Odds of identification also decreased when, compared to murder, the most severe wrongful conviction crime type was child sex abuse or sexual assault. These factors were not significantly associated with the odds of an identified true perpetrator being charged with a wrongful conviction crime. A qualitative study revealed both definitively prohibitive and potentially influential factors that could influence a prosecutor’s decision not to charge an identified true perpetrator with these crimes. These findings indicate policy solutions that could hold true perpetrators of wrongful convictions crimes responsible for their actions.

Este trabalho analisa a quarta temporada do podcast Projeto Humanos, tendo como horizonte o uso da categoria de True Crime para a compreensão de produções sonoras brasileiras sobre crimes reais. A abordagem desenvolvida coloca em diálogo a metodologia proposta por Punnett (2018) para a análise textual de produções desse gênero com a noção de radiojornalismo narrativo (KISCHINHEVSKY, 2018). Como resultado, identificamos aspectos enunciativos e narrativos que permitem classificar esse podcast como um exemplar de True Crime e propomos reflexões acerca de particularidades da linguagem radiofônica para a construção desse tipo de narrativa.

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to identify the linguistic and stylistic features of the speech portrait of a blogger leading his blog in the genre of “true crime story”, which is dedicated to the narration of real crimes. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that the linguistic features of this genre are considered in the work for the first time and the specifics of the narrator’s speech portrait in the genre of “true crime story” manifested in the electronic environment is revealed. As a result of the study, it has been found that the speech portrait of a blogger-narrator of “true crime story” can be characterised as follows: a restrained, concise manner of narration, the unity of the audio-visual means used to enhance the impact on the listener, the representation of the blogger’s values to a wide audience, a detailed description of events, the use of links to information sources, the documentary nature of the presentation of the material, the abundance of legal terminology in speech, the predominance of bookish vocabulary, the use of epithets with negative stylistic colouring, rhetorical questions, parentheticals and quotations, etc.

Abstract:

Although studies have identified women as the primary audience of true crime, women's engagement with the genre is far from a passive one. Women producers of true crime participate in discussions of female victimhood, poverty, and law. They also consider the significance – and complexity – of writing women's lives within a genre like true crime. Our chapter analyses true crime texts by women to interrogate the changing focus of true crime in the twenty-first century and the labour that these authors participate in as they question established narratives of female victimhood. In our case studies of Hallie Rubenhold's The Five (2019) and Michelle McNamara's I'll Be Gone in the Dark (2018) we suggest that these texts model a feminist version of true crime by creating more comprehensive narratives of female victimhood and survival via narrative structures that centralise women's lives. We contend that these texts are engaged in crucial work that alters the language we use to speak about victims and victimhood.

Abstract:

Different crimes have their own unique characteristics. Victim needs and experiences vary across crime types. However, there has been a tendency for the criminal justice system to treat victims as a homogeneous entity and respond to victims of different types of crimes in a routine manner. This is especially true in a developing country like India. This study, using victim survey data from India, examines whether the crime type (property crime or violent crime) has a mediating influence on the relation between the quality of procedure and outcome of police response on the one hand, and victim satisfaction on the other. The study concludes that the type of crime has a mediating effect on the relation between interpersonal justice, information justice and outcome, and the satisfaction of victims with services provided by the police.

This study examines true crime podcasts with a critical/cultural lens to explore how podcasts are impacting the true crime genre, public opinion and the criminal justice system. Four in-depth qualitative interviews with true crime podcast producers offer insight into both the political economy of podcasts and effective audience engagement. Ultimately, this study argues that true crime podcasts are impacting the criminal justice system in unprecedented ways and that the future of this emerging media could challenge both criminal justice and media reform. Practical implications for genre-specific media are also discussed.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to review crime-scene examination and forensic investigation in sexualcrimes, which have an important place among crimes against humanity. The application of forensic sciences starts at the crime scene, and crime-scene examination and forensic investigation are important in solving sexual-crime cases. During the forensic examination, DNA analysis provides the most significant evidence. Biological evidence, particularly DNA, is of primary importance and is most helpful in sexual-violence cases. Obtaining evidence immediately is indispensible for delivering criminals to justice and redressing victims’ losses. If the individuals involved in the incident cannot be located, the DNA extracted from the evidence cannot be compared to those individuals’ DNA samples. At this point, the importance of DNA banks comes to the fore. As is true of other crimes, DNA databanks are a necessity for fighting sexual crimes. One of the most significant deficits in Turkey’s crime-fighting arsenal is the non-existence of such DNA databanks.

More importantly, we question the extent to which academic criminology is equipped to engage in critical analysis of this media and address the questions that they raise about crime and society’s response to it in late capitalist society.

Abstract:

Abstract Numerous studies have noted that media representations of violent crime do not correspond to actual levels and features of violence in society. The present article examines whether this is true of the Finnish crime-appeal program Poliisi-TV. In addition, the article identifies similarities and differences in Finnish violence reporting in comparison with international research findings. The data consist of 23 episodes including 67 violence vignettes that are contrasted with statistical data on violence. Violence is highly over-reported in the program. A typical violent crime is an assault on the street at night between two previously unacquainted Finnish men, although reports on more hidden and rare types of violence are also prominent. Thus, the common generalization that crime media concentrate on the most violent and serious crimes perpetrated on the most vulnerable victims is disputed. The article discusses possible explanations for the differences among Anglo-Saxon and Nordic crime media contents and calls for more research on crime media’s positive implications.

Abstract:

Popular culture has been inundated with stories and images of True Crime for a long time, which is testament to people’s enduring fascination with criminals and their deviant actions. In such stories, which present actual cases of notorious crimes in a style that often resembles fiction, criminals are either reviled as monsters or lauded as cultural icons. More recently, popular autobiographical accounts by criminals themselves have begun to emerge within this True Crime genre. Typically self-celebratory in nature, such representations construct a rather glamorized public image of the author. This article undertakes a multimodal analysis of what has been classed as one typical example of this True Crime sub-genre, Australian Mark Brandon Read’s autobiographical account Chopper: From the Inside. It thereby seeks to demonstrate that the book, while glamorizing and mythologizing its protagonist, simultaneously offers scope for a qualitative understanding of Read’s life of crime and the sensual dynamics of his violent offending. To this end, the analysis focuses on some of the linguistic and pictorial strategies Read employs in constructing a public image of himself that alternates between the dangerous ‘hardman’ and the ‘larrikin’ criminal hero. However, it is also shown that Read’s account reveals a degree of critical self-reflection. In addition to the multimodal analysis, the article also endeavours to explore the link between celebrity and crime, thereby engaging with the nature of popular culture’s fascination with celebrated criminals.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon is a generic hybrid: literary journalism, true crime tale of the Wild West, and whodunit. I argue that the activation of different sets of reader expectations for these genres gives it an extraordinarily powerful political impact. Based on reviews and reader responses on Amazon and Goodreads and on the genre characteristics of the narrative itself, I make the case that Grann satisfies readers’ expectations for formula Westerns and classical detective stories in the first two parts (i.e., solving the crime and arresting the bad guy), only to undermine them in the final section, in which just about all the white citizens in the county emerge as complicit with the crimes. Further, Killers of the Flower Moon–like many true-crime stories–offers a feminist critique of the romance plot by unveiling how happily-ever-after marriages can turn violent and abusive for women.

Abstract:

The categorization of meanings against lexical items that have multiple meanings or that undergo an expansion of meaning often poses problems to language users. This is because language users are often confused and unsure of the true meaning of a lexical item based on the context of its use. Studies on lexical semantics have been extensively conducted but most of the studies conducted focus on the meaning of adjectives, idioms and verbs only. Studies linking word meaning to sexual crime using newspaper data are still considered new and still lacking in number. This study, which uses Prototype Theory, will utilize digital newspaper data, namely Harian Metro, which is expected to fill the existing gaps. This prototype theory is proven to help unravel the cognitive processes involved as the reader tries to understand the true meaning of the word meaning that describes this obscene sexual crime. This study also proves that the use of cognitive semantics by utilizing prototype theory as well as the concept of lexical mapping has helped the process of utterance comprehension take place. All these cognitive processes are used in helping the reader understand the true meaning of a word. This study proves that the lexical used to describe the obscene crime is easily understood by the reader but there are other features that can be used by the author to describe the obscene sexual crime. This aims to further facilitate the reader's understanding of obscene sexual crimes. Overall, the results of this study found that the lexical used is appropriate to the concept of the crime of obscenity.

Abstract:

In this essay, we argue for the need to go beyond considerations of representation when conceptualising the true crime genre’s relationship to queerness and breach fundamental questions about the form of true crime. We ask: how can true crime works retrace history in a way that problematises rather than reinforces established definitions of ‘deviance,’ and this category’s historical relationship to queerness? To answer these questions, this paper outlines two competing methodologies used by true crime works like Mindhunter and American Horror Story in their respective projects of reexamining the past. Rather than considering possible methodologies for the study of true crime media, we believe that an overview of the divergent methods used by these works enables the implicit ideological investments of such texts to be made clear. First, we discuss a ‘straight’ approach that prioritises the retracing of a past crime through archival material and mimetic recreations so that a long-suppressed truth might be ‘discovered’. Second, we examine a ‘queer’ approach that freely blends fiction and historical fact to present a campy and altogether untenable version of criminality. Throughout, we argue for the utility of the latter, which serves as a productive strategy to reveal the artifice of deviancy itself.

Abstract:

Crime observations are one of the principal inputs used by governments for designing citizens’ security strategies. However, crime measurements are obscured by underreporting biases, resulting in the so-called “dark figure of crime”. This work studies the possibility of recovering “true” crime and underreported incident rates over time using sequentially available daily data. For this, a novel underreporting model of spatiotemporal events based on the combinatorial multi-armed bandit framework was proposed. Through extensive simulations, the proposed methodology was validated for identifying the fundamental parameters of the proposed model: the “true” rates of incidence and underreporting of events. Once the proposed model was validated, crime data from a large city, Bogotá (Colombia), was used to estimate the “true” crime and underreporting rates. Our results suggest that this methodology could be used to rapidly estimate the underreporting rates of spatiotemporal events, which is a critical problem in public policy design.

Abstract:

This essay explores the ontological and aesthetic qualities of true crime. With reference to stories set in different regions of the world, produced by writers with hybridised cultural identities, it draws on concepts of ‘truthiness’ (Colbert), ‘depthiness’ (Vermeulen) and ‘eeriness’(Fisher) to show how true crime encodes a neo-modernist aesthetic, marked by attention to place, non-standard verbal forms, and narrative polyphony. However, its ontological dimension also encourages an intense form of participation on the part of the reader-consumer, who, when listening to podcasts or watching television dramas, is fully integrated into the hermeneutic process and might even help solve the crime. My argument is supported by analyses of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood (1966), David Peace’s 1980 (2001), Haruki Murakami’s Underground (2013), Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings (2014), Sarah Koenig’s Serial podcast (2014) and the HBO television drama, The Case against Adnan Syed (2019).

Abstract:

Artykuł omawia genezę i charakterystykę hybrydy medium i gatunku narracyjnego, jaką jest podcasting true crime (TC). Łącząc nową technologię i stary typ opowieści, kontaminuje on aktywizm z konsumpcjonizmem, informację z rozrywką oraz to, co rzeczywiste, z tym, co wirtualne. Stanowi przykład medium zdemasyfikowanego i choćby z tego względu jest wart badawczego zainteresowania. Autorka wykazuje, że powinien również stać się przedmiotem analiz humanistyki zaangażowanej. Podcasty TC bowiem nie tylko werbalizują i propagują określone postawy wobec przestępstw, ale także stanowią narzędzie krytyki społecznej. W odróżnieniu od wcześniejszych tekstów TC przekierowują uwagę odbiorców z czynów i osoby przestępcy na problem niewywiązywania się instytucji bezpieczeństwa państwa z powierzonych im zadań.

Abstract:

This paper reports research findings from the capital city of Yugoslavia, Belgrade. Both fear of crime and opportunity theory suggestions were tested. Differences in victimization experience influencing day/night time fear of crime, as well as differences in day/night time fear of crime influences on routine activities, were examined. Other factors influencing fear of specific crimes were examined. The research was carried out on a random sample comprising 400 respondents living in four Belgrade municipalities. The results of this research show that there exists a feeling of unsafeness in relation to criminal behavior. This feeling, of fear of crime, is more strongly felt at night than in daytime, and to a large extent represents a reflection of the objective risk of victimization. This is especially true of people who indicated fear of daytime crime. People tend to constrain and/or change their routine activities as a consequence of fear of crime; this tendency positively correlates with their level of fear. People who are afraid of daytime crime are more often constrained in their behavior than are those who fear night time crime.

Abstract:

Este trabalho reflete sobre elementos humorísticos presentes em relatos sonoros sobre crimes reais. Com esse objetivo, identificamos um conjunto de procedimentos retóricos e expressivos relacionados ao humor nos podcasts Modus Operandi e Café com Crime, que caracterizam esses relatos tanto no plano verbal quanto em aspectos especificamente sonoros. A partir disso, apresentamos contribuições à teoria do true crime, que descreve códigos narrativos típicos do gênero, e observamos um esforço desses podcasts para equilibrar a tensão narrativa e a comicidade. Vislumbramos ainda a possibilidade de uma subversão do conceito de alívio cômico para dar lugar a estratégias de salvaguarda dramática com a função de traçar limites ao riso no âmbito desse gênero. Levantamos, por fim, possíveis caminhos para debates éticos.

Abstract:

The paper discusses the representation of Lizzie Borden in true-crime and crime-fiction prose texts, as well as in a stage production. It centers on the hypothesis of sociocultural aspects which constitute the accounts written about her and feminist readings. Regardless of genre, these nar ratives portray Lizzie Borden in various ways—from a female tormenter to a guilt-free spinster. Both true-crime books and crime-fiction novels, together with the ballet, are modified by socio cultural factors and are also subject to intertextuality. In addition, the lines between fiction and non-fiction literary works of primary concern are blurred.

Abstract:

True crime’s popularity has never been higher. However, true crime media largely ignores offenses by authority figures, and creators use their outreach to monetize viewership with cold cases rather than making critiques of the societal structures in the United States. Most true crime media is also favored towards “missing white woman syndrome” and ignores the plights of marginalized communities, including Black and Native Americans. This bias makes it harder for the stories of minority groups to be heard and can be damaging to their communities in the long run. Following this, my argument will use Huey P Newton’s Revolutionary Suicide as a historical representation and firsthand accounting of the ways in which the judicial system is inherently biased towards minority groups, and how their representation in the media makes them more likely to be targeted by police, as well as a contemporary comparison and analysis of these issues. The media around Newton’s case, although he was later acquitted of all charges, painted Newton as a deviant simply because he was in a Black organization. Applying the lens of Critical Race Theory, as explained by Bryan Warde and Edward Taylor, to these events, we can begin to see the racist groundwork on which many of our institutions of law are built upon and how media’s favor of sensationalism over accurate representation is hurtful to already vulnerable members of the American public.
