| Summary: | Criminologists are increasingly considering ‘the visual’ within their research, both as objects of study and through the use of visual methodologies. Within this trend, Photovoice provides an innovative, collaborative, and empowering visual research method that allows for in-depth engagement with lived experiences, particularly with underrepresented and previously ‘unseen’ communities, with the intention to foster social change. Photovoice relies on meaningful collaboration between researchers and stakeholders, so that the research is co-created between researchers and participants, therefore democratising the knowledge generation and exchange process. This chapter considers the use and potential effectiveness of Photovoice as a visual research method to further our understanding of art crime. It is argued that criminological enquiry into the illicit trade of cultural objects would benefit from utilising Photovoice to shed light on un(der)represented perspectives and lived experiences to better inform the debate around the production, protection, trade and ownership of cultural objects. |
