In this volume, Michael Fiddler, Travis Linnemann, and Theo Kindynis bring together an interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars to study this phenomenon, exploring the origins, theory, and methodology of ghost criminology. \u003cbr\u003eFeaturing Jeff Ferrell, Michelle Brown, Eamon Carrabine, and other prominent scholars, \u003ci\u003eGhost Criminology\u003c\/i\u003e takes us inside spaces where the worst crimes have imprinted themselves on our history, memory, and media spaces.
