Abstract :
Visual criminology is a branch of criminology that examines the role of images and visual media in shaping our perceptions of crime, criminals, and criminal justice. It analyzes how crime is represented in films, TV series, photographs, paintings, video games, and other forms of media, and examines the impact of these representations on public attitudes, criminal policies, and the functioning of the criminal justice system. Visual criminology helps us to: Critically examine images and information presented in the media. Understand the impact of these images and information on our own and others’ attitudes toward crime and criminal justice. Gain a better understanding of how public perceptions of crime and criminals are formed. Participate more effectively in discussions about crime policies. Ultimately, visual criminology helps us to view images and information about crime and criminal justice more consciously and responsibly, and to prevent their potential negative effects on society.
