DESCRIPTION
Criminal justice has historically proved a valuable source for film makers. From I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) to contemporary films such as Conviction (2011) various aspects of criminal justice have been portrayed. In addition to pure fiction real life events such as the imprisonment of the Guildford 4 (In the Name of the Father) have formed the basis for dramatic works. This module analyses films illustrating the criminal justice system of the UK and abroad to discover what these portrayals tell the viewer about criminal justice. The module uses the films themselves as the primary source of material coupled with academic commentary.
