same background: a typewriter and a mug in front of a mock crime board text: Whether stemming from interest in violence and stories or the need to understand criminal behaviour, narrating true crime has become an industry in and of itself. We would like to create a platform to discuss various ways of historicising, contextualising, and rewriting true crime across the media and further understanding regarding the ways in which true crime narratives are deployed.

same background: a typewriter and a mug in front of a mock crime board text: Topics may include but are not limited to: covering true crime in the media the ethics of representing true crime adapting and reinterpreting true crime (de)mythologising perpetrators the criminal-detective dynamic voicing the victims and their families the role of law enforcement shifting formats of narrating true crime marketing and reception
