Narrative Criminology #1: Narratives Doing and Undoing Crime

Wed, Nov 13, 9:30 to 10:50am, Foothill F - 2nd Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Narratives are essential to crime and harm. Through narrative, perpetrators forge identities. Persons who are close to perpetrators also produce acceptable, even positive, representations of those perpetrators and their actions. This panel centers the narrative roles, identities and personal narratives of those who have committed a variety of crimes, including mass shootings. A view of narrated selves is expanded through studies of how family members and social movements account for both crime and (wrongful) conviction, with an emphasis on the role of affect.
