Abstract

In this chapter, we present a theoretical framework for analysing the interaction between European governance models and the representational policies of places in crime narratives. We adopt a pan-European perspective that implies not only the broad diversity of the considered national examples, but first and foremost covers the points of intersection between different layers of territorial jurisdiction. In our mapping of European crime series we follow, while slightly adapting, the interfaces of four distinct scales and contexts considered by Hooghe and Marks (2001a, b). The chapter does not argue for the aggregation of all European crime series into a homogeneous storyworld, but rather attempts to monitor their location on a conceptual map of European governance.
