1) What impact (positive/negative) could your case study have?
New Tricks could be seen to have a positive impact on society as it shows the police in a good light as they are solving cases and making society a safer place. It also counteracts other shows around now-a-days that don't use older actors and portray the older generation as not as useful as the younger generation. This TV show however, portrays that even though they are retired and are no longer in the police force they still have all the attributes that got them into the police force and they are still helpful to society.
Also, the show is all about solving closed cases and the main characters are shown to really care about the case and the victims involved and they are shown to actually get the villain in the end no matter the cost. This TV show could be seen as having a positive impact due to the content of the show, i.e solving sometimes brutal crimes, and the dedication of the main characters.
However, in someways it could also have a negative effect because the Characters (especially Jack) tend to get so involved in the cases that they end up using unorthodox methods that the police force would not be allowed to, i.e forcing a confession out of someone in interview or using blackmail to get information off of them.
2) Do you think images should be censored? Explain why?
In this TV show we believe that the images should not be censored as it adds to the whole imapct of the brutal crimes that have been committed. If they were not seen then it would be harder for the audience to understand where the characters are coming from when they describe the murder, and it makes it harder for the viewers to want justice for the victim and the criminal.
3) How far do you agree that the case study can change someone's behaviour?
Our case study makes this question hard to answer as we can only come up with the idea that it could create paranioia ...
