Description
The Language of Romance Crimes explores the intersection of forensic linguistics and criminal behavior through the lens of romantic relationships. Elisabeth Carter provides a comprehensive examination of how perpetrators and victims use language in crimes involving love, financial exploitation, and threats. This Element in Forensic Linguistics delves into the communicative patterns, linguistic markers, and discourse strategies that characterize romance fraud, financial manipulation, and intimidation within intimate contexts.
By analyzing real-world case studies and linguistic evidence, Carter demonstrates how language analysis can reveal hidden intentions, emotional manipulation, and coercive control. The book addresses how victims are groomed through specific linguistic tactics and how threats are constructed and escalated in romantic relationships. Essential for forensic linguists, legal professionals, and those interested in criminal psychology, this work provides valuable insights into the language of deception and control in romance-related crimes.
