• The present study seeks to analyze the growing role / use of the image in relation to the contemporary conditions of society in late modernity, and particularly the visual representations (meanings) extracted from the image of crime and social control as cultural products loaded with meaning, tensions, etc., the power of these images and visual multiples (styles), how we can focus on the lenses (images) of the transgression and the control agencies, and the ways in which these lenses are manipulated by the media, in order to generate a stylized and spectacular culture around these issues. In order to achieve this research intention, Cultural Criminology seeks to understand, both methodologically and theoretically, the symbolic and cultural impact of these conditions of modern society on the institutions of control, and on the very circular meaning of the terms crime and social control, in the sense of defy Criminology by turning its kaleidoscope beyond the economic and social analyzes of Orthodox Criminology to focus on or better identify the flawed side of the image of crime and social control seen in every aspect of our existence and designed by a culture of style, which celebrates and promotes its seductive side.
