Abstract: Starting with the editorial caption in CCTV video**, this analysis unpacks some of the practical and conceptual problems in representing violence and trauma. What is the work done by different ways of representing violence? How do we accurately represent the suffering of vulnerable people without vicariously traumatising our audience? How do we avoid accounts that incite further violence? What kinds of explanation are effective in motivating violence prevention and victim empowerment? This exploration works towards a framework for articulating the different types of harm that result from representing, and not representing, traumatic experiences.
