Summary:

In 'Crime TV', Jonathan A. Grubb and Chad Posick bring together an eminent group of scholars to show us the ways in which crime-and the broader criminal justice system-are depicted on television. From 'Breaking Bad' and 'Westworld' to 'Mr. Robot' and 'Homeland', this volume highlights how popular culture frames our understanding of crime, criminological theory, and the nature of justice through modern entertainment.
