Crime Stories

In a riveting discussion, Jennifer Fleetwood, a Senior Lecturer in Criminology, and Louise Wattis, an Assistant Professor focusing on true crime narratives, dive into our obsession with crime stories. They explore how personal accounts from criminals are reshaping the public’s understanding of crime, raising questions about the reliability of these narratives. They also examine the allure of 'hard man' biographies, particularly among men, and dissect the ethical complexities of portraying violence and masculinity in modern media.
