Abstract:

Crime films–one of the most beloved forms of crime fiction—have a close relationship with society due to their themes and subject matter. Because of this relationship, crime films are able to use their genre-specific elements to include social commentary within their storylines. Using their victims, suspects, and resolutions of the crimes, modern crime fiction pieces such as Rian Johnson’s 2019 film Knives Out and Halina Reijn’s 2022 film Bodies Bodies Bodies both implement larger conversations within their stories. In Knives Out, the audience follows the mystery behind the sudden death of the

This article explores the learning pathways of 15 Canadian and American female crime fiction authors. Using a critical feminist perspective, it argues that despite the neoliberal rhetoric of individual choice, as in most careers, there are social-structural factors that create opportunities and barriers for women mystery writers. The article explores the background factors that shape women’s interest in writing crime fiction, considers the challenges that they face in developing their careers, and looks at the supports that may help them to attain success. Despite challenges, there is often in

It is very often revealed, homicide by poisoning, strangulation, torture, rape, bride burning cases are suppressed to present the crime as suicide burning. Such modus operandi is adopted by perpetrators to conceal the facts and misguide the investigation. In order to investigate burning cases, it is very much essential to visit the undisturbed crime scene to ascertain homicide/suicide burning since many post incident evidence are helpful to distinguish between homicide and suicide burning, further supported by autopsy findings.

Abstract   The present paper is an attempt to analyze the criminal women characters which are represented in the mystery and crime with specific reference in fictional work of the acclaimed British Woman Novelist. Ruth Rendell is known as the second queen of mystery fiction. Rendell uses her mystery literature to illustrate a number of issues. She employs enigma, suspense, crime, and murder in her novels. Even though she was a female novelist, she was just as adept at expressing today's societal themes as male novelists. She often made the Sunday Times bestseller list. Her best-selling bo

Abstract:

Forensic science is a known science popularised by movies and media. It is a broad spectrum of sciences to investigate the situations after getting the facts and to establish what happened through crime reconstruction. Forensic crime scene investigators play a vital role in solving crimes mostly based on non-living physical evidence such as footprints, fingerprints, hairs, fibres etc. Animals have relevance to crime scene investigation without necessarily being the main object of the crime, but associated indirectly, in also other situations. Insect evidence may provide clues when dealing with

Abstract:

Detective fiction is a genre characterized by mystery, reasoning, and intrigue that has captivated readers for centuries. However, the mystery here does not rely on theology but is rooted in logic. Malmgren (1997), in Bloody Murder, defines detective fiction as a hybrid genre encompassing elements of detective crime, psychological analysis, suspense, and police procedural stories. It ensures that the detective's resolution of the crime presented to them does not depend on “divine revelations, feminine intuition, nonsensical ramblings, trickery, coincidence, or acts of God.”

The identity of the person is crucial in any crime scene examination. Identification of the deceased is one of the main goals in forensic medicine. It is imperative to confirm the identity of the deceased person before conducting the autopsy. Finding a deceased person's identification becomes difficult if there are no hints or reference materials that may be compared. Some conventional techniques are available to establish the identity of the person in those cases where reference samples are not available.

This narratological study of Erskine Childersʼs The Riddle of the Sands aims to determine whether that early 20th-century crime novel is actually a mystery work, a thriller, or a hybrid.

In the course of the analysis, generic links to non-crime genres will also be taken into account. The article expands upon some practical considerations discussed in its authorʼs doctoral thesis.

Abstract:

In this article, we analyse Australian Aboriginal crime fiction as a form of world crime fiction that draws on the genre’s globally recognisable devices while at the same time localising them in a specific regional setting. This localisation results in two distinctive features. On the one hand, Aboriginal crime fiction is characterised by a critical revision of crime fiction tropes that are unworkable in the Aboriginal context; specifically, it tends to invert the investigator/criminal dichotomy, challenge investigative practices based on Western epistemologies, and undermine the solution of t

Abstract:

Sherman Alexie’s Indian Killer (1996) rewrites the traditional framework of crime fiction by using Native American culture-specific and postmodern literary devices such as fragmentation, intertextuality, irony, and dark humour.

The murderer receives the moniker from the media because the victims are scalped, and owl feathers are found at the crime scenes. An omniscient third-person narrator reveals crucial details and leaves readers to play the role of detective, tasked with unravelling th

Abstract:

The Golden Age is back with a vengeance: reprints, re-boots, and adaptations of interwar detective fiction and its off-shoots have proliferated in the twenty-first century, as have works more loosely, but nonetheless substantially, inspired by the clue-puzzle format developed and perfected by authors like Agatha Christie. This resurgence of the ‘whodunnit’ mystery is something of mystery itself, as the centre of gravity of crime writing has long shifted away from this ostensibly dated and aesthetically limited form. This paper explores this unexpected development, looking in particular at the
