Criminology Goes to the Movies connects with ways in which students are already thinking criminologically through engagements with popular culture encouraging them to use the everyday world as a vehicle for theorizing and understanding both crime and perceptions of criminality. The first work to bring a systematic and sophisticated criminological perspective to bear on crime films .
