Visual literacy has become as important a research skill as analysing interviews and interpreting statistics. Wendy Fitzgibbon not only explains how to understand images in criminal justice, but equips the reader with new skills and, using international examples, demonstrates how those without 'voice' can co-produce new knowledge through Photovoice.
Anne Worrall, Emerita Professor of Criminology, Keele University
