Works of fiction offer complex
and layered social realities that can be deconstructed and creatively theorized
through the analytic frameworks provided by criminology and sociology. This text
argues for the usefulness of fictional realities for criminological theorizing
and analysis. It illustrates that a creative and critical social scientific
practice requires craft norms rather than the commercial norms that threaten to
completely colonize higher education.
It also illustrates that pedagogical enquiry is relevant and
important for criminology. Frauley highlights major concepts of prominent and
influential theoretical frameworks and explicates through their systematic
application to the fictional social realities provided by a selection of films.
In addition to exploring theoretical analysis and clarifying concepts, he offers
several original interpretations, descriptions, and explanations of cinematic
narratives.
He bridges theory and application and provides an innovative
and interesting context in which to engage readers in the exploration of
criminological theory and theorizing.
