Narrative Criminology I: What Stories Do and How They Do It

Thu, Nov 17, 2:00 to 3:20pm, Hilton, Jefferson Ballroom, 3rd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

Narrative criminology is any inquiry based on the view of stories as instigating, sustaining, or effecting desistance from harmful actions and practices. In granting primacy to narrative in human action, narrative criminology follows a path laid by psychology, sociology, history, literature, and cultural studies. Narrative criminology also engages a critical perspective on power and agency as constituted discursively. This panel considers narrative criminology through diverse theoretical lenses.
