The assignment• Crime in Literature and Film from 1840 to the Present

• Students will use primary and secondary sources to examine and discuss changes in the ways in which the detective, the police, criminals, or prisoners are portrayed in crime literature and film from 1840 to the present. Basically, you will discuss how, say, detectives . . .

• are presented in each of the eras we discuss in class • describe how they have changed over time, and • explain why they have changed •  • To do this, you will rely on your class notes and texts, books on

the history of detectives, policing, and corrections that I will put on reserve, and books and journal articles that you will locate through library databases.

•  • Requirements:• Cite from at least 3 of the reserve books[1] • Cite from at least 1 book that you locate in the library • Cite from at least 2 journal articles

Research Strategy

• Finding the right search term• Start big and then use patterns

you see in the results list to narrow your topic

• Most resources will have built into their system a “thesaurus” or “subject” or suggested topics

links, use them• Ask a librarian or your professor for

suggestions
