This course uses films and other media as a medium for studying crime and culture. Students will analyze how cultural norms, values, and beliefs related to crime, criminals, and criminal justice and the ways these norms, values, and beliefs are important to the academic inquiry of law-making, law-breaking, and law-enforcement (i.e. criminology).

In this course, you'll closely examine how crime and the criminal justice system are portrayed in different types of media, like news, TV, movies, podcasts, and social media. We'll also look at how media shapes what the public thinks about crime, law enforcement, and the legal system.

From a sociological perspective, you'll learn about media biases, how it affects people's perception of crime risk, and how political beliefs influence crime portrayal.. You'll also get hands-on experience applying what you learn to real situations.
