RT Article T1 The past is prologue: towards a historico-narrative approach at the intersection of historical criminology and narrative criminology JF Crime, media, culture VO 19 IS 4 SP 421 OP 437 A1 Bleakley, Paul LA English YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1870738624 AB There is great scope for narrative criminology and historical criminology to come together and, in collaboration, find ways for the practices of each to strengthen the other. Ultimately, both have a shared focus: the stories (past and present) that we use to make sense of crime, and the criminal justice system. This article argues for a historico-narrative approach to criminological research, wherein the research conducted by historical criminologists can be augmented by the types of subjective analysis that are central to narrative criminology. Similarly, the analysis of ‘stories’ that is the core business of narrative criminologists can only be advanced by a greater engagement with the concept of historical time.
