Watch a crime-related, fictional television show episode, such as one from Criminal Minds, Law & Order, NCIS, Chicago P.D., Blue Bloods, S.W.A.T., etc.

 

Research your local police, courts, and corrections agencies’ employee demographics, as well as your local arrest demographics. You may find helpful data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.

  5. Explain how media portrayals can influence people’s perceptions of crime. Consider portrayals and perceptions of those who offend; those who are victimized; and those who investigate, prosecute, sentence, and oversee those serving a sentence.
