90/56.359 Crime, Law, and Media – WINTER
Media organizations produce cultural understandings of crime and the law. Much of what people know and believe to be true about the crime and the law might be said to come from media products like news reports or entertainment. This course examines crime and legal representations with a focus on the dominant role of media. Much of the research on media has addressed the effects of media on individuals. This course will focus instead on media as a powerful and dominant institution that influences cultural understandings of crime and law. Cross-registered with (Justice Studies) 56:359. 3 lecture hours per week, one term.
