This book employs actor-network theory in order to examine how representations of crime are produced for contemporary prime-time television dramas. A unique examination of the production of contemporary crime television dramas, particularly their writing process, Making Crime Television: Producing Entertaining Representations of Crime for Television Broadcast examines not only the semiotic relations between ideas about crime, but the material conditions under which those meanings are formulated. A fascinating investigation into the relationship between television production, crime, and the law; this book is an accessible and well-researched resource for students and scholars of Law, Media, and Criminology.
