These personal accounts used to be confined to private or professional settings--the police station, the courtroom, a helpline or in a counselor's office--but today bookshops heave with autobiographies by prisoners, criminals, police, and lawyers; streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube host hours of interviews with serial killers, death row residents, vigilantes, and gang members; true-crime podcasts like \u003ci\u003eCriminal\u003c\/i\u003e often feature episodes focusing entirely on one person's narrative; and some offenders even live-stream their crimes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this fascinating new book, British criminologist Jennifer Fleetwood compellingly examines seven high-profile \"crimes\" which are known to us via a public, first-person account to try to make sense of the social, political, and cultural consequences that this confessional impulse has on our lives. From Howard Marks's autobiography \u003ci\u003eMr. Nice\u003c\/i\u003e to Shamima Begum's 2019 \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e interview; from the documentary \u003ci\u003eThe Real Mo Farah\u003c\/i\u003e to Prince Andrew's disastrous \u003ci\u003eNewsnight\u003c\/i\u003e interview; from Chanel Miller's victim impact statement to episodes of \u003ci\u003eCriminal\u003c\/i\u003e and Myra Hindley's prison letters, Fleetwood invites us to think differently about the abundance of personal stories about crime that circulate in public life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Fleetwood\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
