Assignment:
Assignment requires that you select an issue in Criminal Justice and Media and analyze it in terms of social construction through the issue's depictions in the media. You may write a traditional research paper or create a PowerPoint presentation. Regardless of the format you choose, the content must be supported by valid academic research, and that research must be properly cited.
Focus on content, not creativity. Follow the rubric and present the concepts required. This is NOT, for instance, research on police brutality. This IS, perhaps, research on the SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF POLICE BRUTALITY (or some other topic) and the product should reflect that. Chapter 2 will be a great resource.
Examples:
Depictions of law enforcement in entertainment media
Social construction of crime and race
Media treatment of white collar crime
Television news coverage of violent crime
Social media depictions of police, courts/lawyers, or criminals
Must cite any outside sources used
A minimum of 2000 words/25 slides
Double-spaced, New Times Roman, 12-point typed
