This dissertation examines a proliferation of texts from the 1940s-1960s that focus on the apprehension and exposure of the criminal mind. While the "psycho-narrative" desires to gain control over the nature of criminality, it repeatedly shows the failure of detection in an era in which new forms of surveillance became entrenched within criminological and psychological discourses. Swift developments and changes occurring within postwar criminology, psychopathology, as well as with the legal rights of criminals are evident in the sub-text of the psycho-narrative, which grapples with contradictory explanations of the criminal mind. Reflected in literature and cinema, this psycho-narrative reflects gender and identity crises of the post-war moment with most obvious tension announcing itself between competing masculine and feminine voices, over concerns about the safety of the home and the family, and a fascination with deviance from traditional gender and sexual norms.

520 $a This dissertation examines a proliferation of texts from the 1940s-1960s that focus on the apprehension and exposure of the criminal mind. While the "psycho-narrative" desires to gain control over the nature of criminality, it repeatedly shows the failure of detection in an era in which new forms of surveillance became entrenched within criminological and psychological discourses. Swift developments and changes occurring within postwar criminology, psychopathology, as well as with the legal rights of criminals are evident in the sub-text of the psycho-narrative, which grapples with contradictory explanations of the criminal mind. Reflected in literature and cinema, this psycho-narrative reflects gender and identity crises of the post-war moment with most obvious tension announcing itself between competing masculine and feminine voices, over concerns about the safety of the home and the family, and a fascination with deviance from traditional gender and sexual norms.
520 $a Whether showing the criminal's ability to defy and outsmart the typological classification systems of criminology and psychopathology; critiquing the institutions of detection; exposing the ulterior motives of detection; or illuminating the criminal's ability to elude detection, these narratives reflect Cold War anxieties about the detection of deviance. While the psycho-narrative seems to offer the promise of revelation, it often refuses to reveal the most intimate details the audience desires. Framed as such, this dissertation contributes to literary and cultural scholarship of post-World War II America by exploring the connections between these recurring issues within a variety of disciplines and mediums.
520 $a To do so, it examines fictional and cinematic psycho-narratives alongside cultural texts and accounts from legal, psychological, criminological, journalistic, and photographic perspectives that also focus on gaining control over the criminal's agency, exposing the workings of the criminal mind, and sharpening the detection of criminal behavior even as they instill and reinforce a connection between criminal and social deviance.
