This stream (https://mcct.margins.org.uk/#8-crime) explores the intersections between crime and media, including how news, documentaries, social media, film, and other platforms shape public perceptions of crime, justice and the legal system. We welcome contributions from researchers, activists, and artists on topics such as (but not limited to): activism against media narratives that stigmatise specific groups as the perpetrators of crime, reflections on pieces of media that advance critical, reformist and/or abolitionist narratives, the role of media in abolitionist organising, or reflections on media representations of ‘lived experience’ of victimisation and criminalisation.
Submission Guidelines:
Abstracts: up to 500 words
Deadline: 21 January 2026
