Crimeculture is a site designed to appeal to anyone interested in representations of criminality. It provides introductions to crime fiction, crime films and true crime. Our Rogue's Gallery section deals with the early literature of crime from the 16th through the 18th century; and 21st-Century Crime offers interviews, reviews of fiction, non-fiction and classics re-issued from 2000 on.
Established in Summer 2002, the site has proven to be an exciting context for bringing together people involved in the study of popular culture. It has provided an international showcase for the work of both established academics and students of the genre. In the seven years since we started the site, numerous writers and critics have contributed to crimeculture, and over forty students have published their essays in our Articles section (please see our Call for Papers).
NEW in February 2010:
