Special Issue Editors: Claire Eldridge, Julie Powell

Through case studies from the fifteenth century to the twentieth, contributors to this special issue explore how crime and war are connected both materially and imaginatively. Arguing that notions of crime and criminality are not fixed but under constant negotiation—particularly in times of crisis and great societal change, such as war—the authors posit that war renegotiates what constitutes “crime,” making criminals of some while exonerating others and providing cover for certain misdeeds while spotlighting others.
