Description
As true crime media continues to captivate audiences around the globe, this edited volume takes a necropolitical and feminist perspective to build a fuller understanding of when and where power lies within the communication of true crime stories. From this understanding, contributors provide recommendations for practitioners and educators to disrupt the current communication dynamics of true crime related to concerns of power, representation, and voice. Ultimately, this volume poses a significant question for the future of the genre - can true crime media ever be truly feminist
