Double-weighted statement
The monograph, which treats the construction of the modern Western subject of 'the murderer', has an extensive historical reach, spanning the years 1830-the present day, It examines a wide range of discursive and visual material pertaining to murder cases (medical, social, legal, criminological, media-based, literary, artistic) from a range of national and linguistic contexts, including Europe and North America. Given the scope of the material covered, the research and writing of this book was carried out over a period of 6 years and necessitated considerable data collection in a number of national locations.
