Media and criminal justice

"Media and criminal justice: the CSI effect illustrates how media coverage and television programs influence the public's perception of criminal justice. Fiction is often mistaken for reality, and this phenomenon called the CSI effect adds to the assumption that all criminal cases can be easily solved through the employment of high-tech forensic science, as depicted on television crime shows ... This text explores common misconceptions and their consequences, providing readers with the ability to critically analyze information promoted by the media and entertainment."--BOOK JACKET.
