Watch the movie Law Abiding Citizen, and thoroughly answer the questions in the added material. NOTE: The frame is the Faulty Criminal Justice System Frame this frame holds that a crime results from a lack of "law and order". People commit crimes knowing they can get away with them because the police are handcuffed by liberal judges and the prisons are revolving doors. The only way to ensure public safety is to increase the swiftness, certainty, and severity of punishment. Loopholes and technicalities that impede the apprehension and imprisonment of offenders must be eliminated, and funding for police, courts, and prisons must be increased. The faulty system frame is symbolically represented by the convicted, repeat rapist or by the image of inmate passing through a revolving door on a prison. For paragraphs 2-4 you will find in the instructions to describe the defining characteristics of the criminal (psychotic/super-male or victim/ heroic) you think Clyde Shelton closely resembles. Psychotic super-male criminals generally possess an evil, cunning intelligence and superior strength, endurance, and stealth. Crime is an act of twisted, lustful revenge or a random act of irritational violence. A historical trend has been to present psychotic criminals as more and more violent and bloodthirsty and to show their crimes more and more graphically. Hence, murderous violence that once typically took place completely off screen came to be represented in scenes that were violent but not graphic (such as the shower murder in Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho). Since the 1980's violencehas been shownin graphic hyperviolent close-ups. As the most popular constructionof criminality, the psychopathic criminal clearly supports the individually focused biological and psychological theories to the exclusion of other criminological perspectives. Crime is innate, an act of nature gone bad and not society's fault. Another popular criminality narratives are victims and heroic criminals. These potraits are the least common and present an alternative perspective that supports sociological and political explanations. Although the criminal as hero and the criminal as victim appeared early and have been presented regularly throughout the history of the media, such narrativeshave always been less frequent in number than those of the criminal as a psychopath or professional. Depending on how the potrait is structured, this "Robin Hood" criminality narrative supports strain, blocked opportunity, labeling, and critical criminology theories.
