Abstract
The aim of this article is to problematize a recent crime prevention initiative of the Australian Federal Government. Through an exploration of the relationship between `audience' and `text', it is argued that the object of the program was not — indeed could not be — crime nor its prevention but rather the production of an aesthetic of transgression and victimhood. Techniques for achieving this aesthetic are discussed as is the relationship between criminology and the kinds of texts that often underpin crime prevention strategies.
