The clickable carnival
This conceptual paper explores the 2016 killer clown event as a symbolic and affective spectacle embedded in the cultural logic of late capitalism. Moving beyond the limitations of moral panic theory, we argue that the clown functions not as a folk devil but as a hyper-normalised figure of commodified fear, circulated, aestheticised, and ritualised through digital media. Drawing on frameworks from cultural criminology, ultra-realism, hauntology, …
Legacies of the Lost in Criminology
Queenpins
Despite increasing recognition within mainstream media, criminology is yet to offer a substantive analysis of female participation within the upper echelons of organised crime. As such, this exploratory paper aims to offer an insight into the key themes identifiable within the context of high level, female, drug suppliers. Identifying thirty-six case studies, this exploratory paper combines descriptive statistics and a Fisher’s Exact test with Cr…
Dark Destinations
From the Alcatraz East Crime Museum and Jack the Ripper guided tours to the Phnom Penh killing fields, ‘dark tourism’ is now a multi-million-pound global industry. Even in the most pleasant tourist destinations, underlying harms are constantly perpetuated, affecting both consumers and those who work or live around such tourist hotspots. Highlighting 50 travel destinations across six continents, expert criminologists, psychologists and historians …
Grand Theft Heutagogy
This paper explores the utilization of the video game Grand Theft Auto as a unique tool within the lecture theatre to develop contemporary heutagogy.

Utilizing video games as a means to ensure students are activ…

Thug Life
This paper seeks to develop an understanding of interpersonal violence within an urban landscape. An increase in violent crime has garnered intense media attention with drill—an emerging subgenre of hip hop—being sighted by media outlets as a causal factor for the rise in gang-related violence. Within this perspective, the Metropolitan Police took action, which affirmed this narrative. This paper seeks to refute such simplistic discussions of int…
Taxing Times
This article considers the oft hidden instances of inter-criminal victimisation in illegal drug markets amongst serious criminals in the North of England. Focusing on proto-criminal activity known in regional argot as ‘taxing’ (drug dealers robbing one another) it draws on ethnographic material and suggests that contrast to literature on the subject from the USA (Contreras 2012; Jacobs 2000) ‘taxing’ in England rarely leads to cycles of retaliato…
Benjamin’s ‘flâneur’ and serial murder
This article seeks to develop criminological theory with the application of a literary device known as the ‘flâneur’ – an individual described as a ‘stroller’ – to serial murderer Levi Bellfield. With this application of the ‘flâneur’ to the phenomenon of serial murder, this article provides a fresh theoretical ‘lens’, and specifically sheds light on how particular serial murderers operate and evade detection in modern society. The importance of …
