This journal explores how children's literature addresses themes of crime, justice, and detection through various narrative lenses. Articles examine the portrayal of moral versus legal justice, the intersection of horror and detective genres with supernatural elements, and the representation of neurodivergent characters as detectives. It also analyzes the motif of slander as a form of crime within children's literature.
