| Description | Journal: Journal of Victorian Culture Media representations of the nineteenth-century criminal, and the publicity generated by acts of domestic violence, continue to fascinate us in the twenty-first century, attested to by the popularity of TV series such as Sherlock and Ripper Street. Debates about criminality first mobilized in the nineteenth century centre on the social and medical explanations for crime, with the disturbing figure of the criminal woman attracting particular attention because of her deviation from the norms of acceptable femininity. |
