Delinqüència i mitjans de comunicacióDelincuencia y medios de comunicación Crime and the media  (3104G00117)

The media are saturated with images of crime, victimisation and the criminal justice system (police, courts, prisons). This subject focuses on critically analysing those representations and how the media reflect, filter and/or distort those social phenomena, as well as the influence they may have on the social perception of crime and the functioning of the criminal justice system, people’s behaviour and criminal policy. In the course of the academic year, we will discuss the following topics: the police in fiction and documentaries; drugs, moral panic and TV fiction; prison in fiction and infotainment; media construction of ideal victims; juries, courts and TV fiction; public opinion and social media.
