1. Cops (tv show) Cops is known for the Bad Boys theme song. It first aired on March 11, 1989 and it showed on the Fox network. Cops showed pretty much what the police officers, constables and sheriff's deputies patrolling streets go through. They come across car thieves, drug pushers, sex-trade workers, and violent thugs. They put cameras on real officers and send them out. (Wikipedia, 2017) The police image is shown in a positive way. It shows what our officers go through. This show represents the investigation and arrest stage. Yes, I do think that that show represents criminal justice because it’s so realistic and it shows how dumb some criminals are. 2. Bad Boys (movie) Bad boys movie was produced on April 7, 1995. It was directed …show more content…
The cases are real but are not real trials and the audience are actors. (SONIAK, 2015) Judge Judy has a positive image on criminal justice. I have been in a court room and the judge acted just like her. Judge Judy show represent the pretrial, trial, and Serving the sentence stage.

Since the cases is real and he was a real judge it makes me want to watch it even more. He represents the same steps as Judge Judy. Corrections 5. The longest Yard (movie) The longest yard was released on May 27, 2005. The director was Peter Segal and the producer was Jack Giarraputo. This movie was about inmates playing football against prison guards. (IMDb.com, Inc., 2017) Now I’m sure some things that happened in the movie happens in a real jail. I never heard of inmates playing football against the guards. Now a day that would probably turn out so bad. This movie to me didn’t show how it really is in prison. The image is
Not all primetime crime shows are created equal; some bend forensic realities at different degrees than others depending on sub-genre. According to Hon
Many jurors may be more decisive based on actual development in forensic technology; it is likely under the CSI affect to acquit a guilty defendant. The weakness of CSI effect does have a negative effect on the criminal justice system. There a lot of misconceptions associate with crime shows. For instance, in shows such as Law & Order and Crime Scene Investigation, DNA test results only seem to take an hour or a few hours when in reality, it can take days or weeks to get the results back, depending on which DNA testing facility is used.
Ultimately, justice is what we are seeking in these entertainment driven TV series and movies. When criminals are held accountable for their misdeeds we as society are able to accept the misdeeds of others who are responsible for bringing the dangerous criminals to justice.

Boyz N the Hood, displays the challenging upbringing of adolescents who have to live with harsh conditions around not only their home but also their surrounding town. The film compares the differences between the lifestyles of Tre Styles and his friends’, Darren and Ricky Baker. Darren and Ricky are half-brothers who are nothing alike. Singleton demonstrates the importance of male leadership in a home in the ghetto of Los Angeles by comparing the difference between the lifestyles of Tre and his friends. While many adolescents in the hood have close friendships, some form close relationships by assembling gangs and create a world of violence due to alcohol abuse, which together ultimately breeds discrimination.
In the electronic world that we live in, every aspect of life can be broadcast across the country in seconds. This aspect is even more realistic when cameras are front and center in American courtrooms. Each morning and afternoon we turn on the television, reality television takes over and civil lawsuits or divorces are being broadcast on shows such as the Judge Judy Show, Judge Brown Show, Judge Greg Mathis Show or Divorce Court. Many people, young and old, are exposed to these reality shows believing what they see is the “real” criminal justice system at

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood leaves the audience questioning, asking, and wanting more. The entirety of the film is a recollection of memories and experiences throughout the course of Mason’s childhood. Overall Boyhood is like an unsolved puzzle with missing pieces that aren’t enough to solve the puzzle. The entire movie is questionable and has so many gaps in-between each memory that there really is no plot. Since there isn’t a plot it makes you question if it is really about boyhood, about family, maybe Mason’s childhood, or girlhood. Certain questions begin to formulate like, why doesn’t Linklater use the typical format of storytelling during Mason’s childhood? How come we never know what happened between Oliva and Mason Sr? Why doesn’t
Different forms of media, such as television, films, books, and newspapers, have similar ways of portraying the criminal justice system. The media constructs representations of crime and justice and in doing this, it presents an often dramatized representation of the criminal justice system; and this does not just influence on the public’s lay view of crime but also for criminal justice experts (Marsh, 2014). In the media it is commonly known that they are a business, and businesses need to make a profit. Because of this, the media’s portrayal of the criminal justice system has been very negative. With the news, their main purpose is to produce what sells. So many of them would edit the information they have gathered and make a story that will sell. Also the media does not show the full process of the criminal justice as a quick process, while in fact it is not. For example, last year, Netflix released a short series called “Making A Murderer”. Most people claimed that they feel like they can solve a crime when they finished watching a series. While that series is very factual, it does not hit every single step of the criminal justice process.
From the whole semester, what I’ve have learned that surprise me the most about criminal justice system is that how the media portrays crime justice especially the victims who are affected the most. For example, in Law & Order: SVU, the
During this documentary, the viewers get an inside look at how criminal proceedings work. In the courtroom, the most important players are the prosecution, defense, and judge. The judge is in the room to make sure the proceeding runs smoothly and to settle any arguments that arise. The prosecution is there to accuse the defendant for whatever crime he or she has been convicted of. The defense is there to defend the person being convicted of the crime. There is also a bailiff who is there to oversee the court and make sure everyone there is safe. The bailiff will bring evidence form the defense or prosecution to the judge, as nobody is to approach the bench without the judge calling attorneys to the
A very popular 1995 film involving crime is “Bad Boys” directed by Michael Bay. Michael Bay and his team of writers were able to film a highly intense action-comedy based around two detectives fighting organized crime. By examining distortions, crime causation theories, and the image portrayed in “Bad Boys,” the viewer is absorbed into the Hollywood perspective of our justice system.
As a source of entertainment, crime and criminal justice have become central themes among numerous sources of media. With particular attention to movies and television shows, depictions of criminal justice and crime can be spotted in most situations from nightly news programs to dramas in the courtrooms (Fact Sheet: Crime in the Media, n.d ). Undoubtedly, the popularity of crime shows has culminated into some of the most enduring series in television, such as How to Get Away With Murder and The Mentalist (Fact Sheet: Crime in the Media, n.d
What is the court system? What is the function of the court system? The court system is the system where offenders are sentence for committing their crime. The function of the court system is to issue punishment to criminals and ensure proper sentencing is given for crimes. Examples of the court system are “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis”. The images that “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis” present are positive images. The stage that “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis” depict in the criminal justices system are where the judge hears the arguments of the case at hand, the judge hears both the plaintiff and defendant, and then the judge makes a decision on the case for which evidence was presented in front of them. I think this a fair representation of the criminal justice procedure. Having been chosen to be a juror on the grand jury, I know that the procedures listed above are how the court system operates in Georgia.
The behavior of some of the officers were tough and other officers were fairly nice. The crimes features consist of different crimes it goes from misdemeanors to felony crimes. Felony cases would have to be the predominate crime in the episodes I have watched. Also, the products being advertised during these programs would include car advertisements, phone company commercials, weight loss commercials and plenty more. I would say the car commercials programs are directed to mostly rich people because the car commercials they had were expensive cars. The phone commercials would go for the middle class people or maybe even poor because they advertise cheap phone plans. Most commercials are age based only few are gender based
