Abstract

Although traditionally neglected by criminologists, dramatised representations of crime and criminality have been recognised recently as worthy of criminological scrutiny (Martin 2019; Rafter 2007; Welsh, Fleming & Dowler 2011; Young 1996). Visual media like movies and television shows provide the public with “cultural information” on crime, criminality, policing and the criminal justice system (Martin 2019: 99). Not only do crime dramas reflect social attitudes, but they also influence the public’s perceptions of these issues (Welsh, Fleming & Dowler 2011)...
