Description

The main purpose of this study is to determine if watching crime and law enforcement-related television shows can affect people’s views about the criminal justice system. The online survey asked about an individual’s television viewing habits and their perceptions of the criminal justice system, including their beliefs or expectations toward particular criminal justice system issues. The population for this study were undergraduates at the University of Dayton. Participants were recruited through email and social media networks. They were provided a link to take the anonymous online survey. Snowball sampling through the posts/messages was conducted to help expand the sample size and increase participation.
