Research questions that will guide our approach include: How is \u201cthe criminal\u201d represented, and by whom? How has the figure of the criminal been both demonized and celebrated? How do documentary accounts of criminality compare with fictional accounts? How have ideas of \u201cthe criminal\u201d changed in the 20th and 21st centuries? Students will complete a research project and a final creative project in which they apply the themes of the course; these projects will challenge students to examine how depictions of crime have real-world consequences for the ways we interact with one another and the criminal justice system.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/representations-of-the-criminal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/connected-core\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshor-of-Representations-Site-2-1024x598.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of a page from the &quot;Representations of 'the Criminal'&quot; course website from Spring 2023.
