Providing detailed descriptions of each murder, investigation, and court case, Ellen Nerenberg addresses the perception of lawlessness in Italy, the country's geography of crime, and the generalized fear for public safety among the Italian population. Nerenberg examines the fictional and nonfictional representations of these crimes through the lenses of moral panic, media spectacle, true crime writing, and the abject body. The worldwide publicity given the recent case of Amanda Knox, the American student tried for murder in a Perugia court, once more drew attention to crime and punishment in Italy and is the subject of the epilogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Making a Killing\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Serial Killing \u003cbr\u003e 1.The \"Monster\" of Florence: Serial Murders and investigation\u003cbr\u003e 2.Monstrous Murder: Serial Killers and Detectives in Contemporary Italian Literature\u003cbr\u003e 3.Penile Procedure: The Pleasures and Dangers of Looking in Dario Argento's Cinema\u003cbr\u003e Part II: Matricide and Fratricide Erika, Omar, and Violent Youth in Italy\u003cbr\u003e 4.\"Sono stati loro:\" Erika, Omar, and the Double Homicide of Susy Cassini and Gianluca De Nardo in Novi Ligure \u003cbr\u003e 5.The Raw and the Cooked: Transnational Media and Violence in Italy's \"Cannibal\" Pulp Fiction of the 1990s\u003cbr\u003e Part III: Filicide The Bad\/Mad Mother of Cogne and Violence Against Children\u003cbr\u003e 6.The Yellow and the Black: Cogne or, Crime of the Century\u003cbr\u003e 7.Spectacular Grief and Public Mourning\u003cbr\u003e 8.Unspeakable Crimes: Children as Witnesses, Victims, and Perpetrators\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue: Kiss Me Deadly\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52526019641624,"sku":"9780253223098","price":22.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/murder-made-in-italy-homicide-media-and-contemporary-italian-culture-paperback-softback-9780253223098","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
