Aims
This module aims:
1. To understand the multiple and complex links between crime, media and culture.
2. To demonstrate how processes of 'cultural construction' are applied to a range of deviant/criminal sub-cultures.
3. To explore the growing criminological significance of a variety of new, popular and entertainment media.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically analyse the emergence and development of cultural criminology as an identifiable sub-field of criminology.
2.
Apply the ideas/discourses of cultural criminology to a chosen sub/popular cultural form to offer a critical analysis of it, and its wider theoretical significance.
3.
Meaningfully account for the ways in which progressive criminological perspectives (like cultural, popular, visual, and digital criminologies) are critical to the ongoing development of criminology as a field of study.
