ABSTRACT

After certain murders become cast as notorious or infamous in the media and public eye, we may be faced with all kinds of projections and ‘careful artice’ – cinema, television, guided tourist walks, art and museum exhibitions, popular crime novels, simulacra of crime scenes in tourist attractions, and more, that mesh together with often odd affects. Some of the trails of this careful artice we outline in this chapter in relation to tourist walks. As we focus on what comes ‘late’ to experience and long after the event, it therefore seems appropriate to start our account of crime scene tourism close to the end.
