Special Editors: Rebecca Scott Bray and Derek Dalton

This Special Issue addresses the relationship between law and crime by exploring the complex place of crime scenes in contemporary culture. It will traverse the landscape of law and crime via crime scenes that are understood as future, past, present and imagined.

We seek scholarly articles, artworks, reviews and creative writing examining the relationship between law and crime focusing on the theme of crime scenes.

In particular, submissions could address one or more of the following themes:

dark tourism
law and death
medico-legal practices
crime scene interpretation
globalised crime scenes

memorialisation
legal regulation of space
forensic practice as knowledge production
crime scenes and their representation
the status of the body

Submissions are encouraged from scholars across all disciplines, as well as from writers, poets and visual artists. All scholarly articles will be subject to independent peer review. All other submissions will be considered by the Guest Editors in consultation with the Managing Editor.
