This subject was previously known as Crime, Media and Culture.Our understandings and perceptions of crime and the criminal justice system are often informed by popular culture. In this unit you will investigate how popular culture representations shape public opinion, political policy and criminal justice practices. You will learn how to assess mainstream and alternative sources of popular culture, and discover how these differing sources present and challenge key crime stories.The emerging role of social media will be examined, including the use of social media by: police to solve crimes and connect with the community, citizens to broadcast state violence and vigilante collectives (such as &#39;Anonymous&#39;) to present perceived failures of justice. In this unit you will consider how popular culture both reflects popular sentiment about harms, and how it can call into question which harms should be criminalised.
