Description:

In the first comprehensive study of its kind, well-known criminologist Nicole Rafter examines the relationship between society and crime films from the perspectives of criminal justice, film history and technique, and sociology. Dealing with over 400 films ranging from gangster and cop movies through serial-killer and sex-crime films to trial and prison movies, Shots in the Mirror concentrates on works in the Hollywood tradition but also identifies a darker strain ofcritical films that portray crime and punishment more bleakly.
