True Crime - Abbie E. Goldberg, Danielle C. Slakoff, Carrie L. Buist

The (Mis)Representation of Queer Lives in True Crime

The (Mis)Representation of Queer Lives in True Crime explores how LGBTQ+ individuals have been portrayed in true crime narratives and examines the ways media coverage can shape, distort, or overlook their experiences. Using an intersectional approach, the book analyzes high-profile criminal cases involving queer victims and perpetrators, highlighting how factors such as gender, sexuality, race, and social class influence public narratives and the criminal justice system. By drawing on news reports, documentaries, podcasts, films, books, and social media, it encourages readers to critically evaluate true crime storytelling and its broader cultural impact. An insightful resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in criminology, media studies, sociology, psychology, and LGBTQ+ studies, the book offers a deeper understanding of representation, justice, and social inequality.
