ABSTRACT
The eighth chapter is an updated and revised version of previous work by Michelle Brown and Eamonn Carrabine. The authors explore the nature of the relationship between visual and critical criminology based in part on the critical foundations of visual criminology in the well-established tradition of research on “crime and the media.” This chapter is updated to include visual examples and to consider to what extent broader efforts at defining visual criminology may complicate efforts to subsume visual criminology within critical orientations. The authors explore three emergent areas of visual criminology. These include forensic architecture, big data and surveillance, and emergent research on the criminology of the senses.
