(CRM1b) Canadian Contributions to Criminology II

| |
Criminology is a multi-faceted field that uses 'crime' as its subject matter but has no single methodological commitment or paradigmatic theoretical framework. Many areas and conversations in criminology, however, are often dominated by work from the US, Britain, and the Scandinavian countries that differ from the Canadian context in significant socio-political respects. The main objective of this session is to connect researchers and discuss work that advances our understanding of crime and criminal behaviour in Canada as well as criminological knowledge more broadly.

Organizers: Timothy Kang, University of Saskatchewan, Daniel Kudla, Memorial University

(CRM2a) Crime, Deviance, and Media I

| |
The relationship between crime and the media is a complex one, often focusing on the more traditional investigation of the (mis)representation of crime and deviance and its impact on society. But while we should always consider the impact of such representations of individuals and groups by media, the exploration of that relationship should also include an investigation of how people might use media to engage in and represent their own such activities, as well as how they might navigate newly acquired deviance or criminal identities as a result being represented in media. This session invited papers that consider the relationship between crime, deviance, and the media from a number of different avenues, including but not limited to: how groups are represented by the press/entertainment/infotainment media; how individuals or groups represent themselves using media; public reactions to crime and deviance; and more. Papers from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches are encouraged.

Organizer: Duncan Philpot, St. Thomas University
