ABSTRACT
The sixth chapter in this book, by Danielle Arlanda Harris and David John Harris, summarizes some developments in visual criminology, presents a brief history of previous attempts to visualize life histories, and describes in detail the life history plot. As part of a case study, they describe the evolution of their thinking about criminal careers and explain how and why visualization became such a meaningful step in their research process. Finally, they reflect on the definition of visual criminology and on what happens when a criminologist, a visual learner, a science communicator, a graphic designer, and an artist work together.
