Crime, Politics and the Media
Course Number:
CRIM2034
Course Description:
Crime and justice issues dominate politics, the media and popular culture. This course looks critically at the development and nature of 'law and order politics' and the media's fascination with crime, both of which govern popular understandings of crime risks and threats, and appropriate policy responses to them. We consider how and why crime and justice have become such a source of fascination and a policy area on which elections can be won, with reference to numerous examples from contemporary politics, news media and popular culture.
