Written by top-notch scholars and focusing on widely watched shows, the chapters use popular media to unmask prevailing justice myths and realities and to illuminate the relevance of theories of crime and punishment. Scholarly but accessible, this volume is a fascinating read for all and uniquely suited for classroom use with today's students.--Francis T. Cullen, co-author of Criminological Theory: Context and Consequences<br><br><i>Crime TV </i>takes popular criminology's necessary next step. Taking the televisual series that most fascinate us and coupling them with classical theories and urgent contemporary perspectives, we immerse into the screens and streaming frontiers of rapidly shifting forms of media consumption. Students and teachers will love this volume.--Michelle Brown, author of The Culture of Punishment: Prison, Society, and Spectacle<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Chad Posick </b>is Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Georgia Southern University. <p/><b>Jonathan A.
