-Three themes from the movie.
-The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the criminal justice system is portrayed in popular culture and movies as compared with the depiction of the criminal justice system in this class and other sources. You will complete an 8 page essay by November 26th on the assigned movie. Remember, I have seen the movie so I am not interested in a narrative describing the movie. Depth is favored over breath but you might want to start with a quick overview (see scoring rubric). Your paper should include your opinion on how the film might inform/misinform/influence public opinion on the criminal justice system.
-This is a simple task provided you put some energy and thought into your paper. Go beyond the confines of the movie and judge against class room information and current media reported situations on your chosen subject.
-Remember to document your sources and quotations.
-You will need to have at least 6 viable citations from research and published articles to support your conclusions. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and internet sources are not valid nor acceptable for citations nor are encyclopedia type references or textbook citations. You can use them but they do not count as one of the 6 viable citations.
