Bad Girls: Agency, Revenge, and Redemption in Contemporary Drama
e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Bad Girls: Agency, Revenge, and Redemption in Contemporary Drama Courtney Watson, Ph.D. Radford University Roanoke, Virginia, United States [email protected] ABSTRACT Cultural movements including #TimesUp and #MeToo have contributed momentum to the demand for and development of smart, justified female criminal characters in contemporary television drama. These women are representations of shifting power dynamics, and they possess agency as they channel their desires and fury into success, redemption, and revenge. Building on works including Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, dramas produced since 2016—including The Handmaid’s Tale, Ozark, and Killing Eve—have featured the rise of women who use rule-breaking, rebellion, and crime to enact positive change. Keywords: #TimesUp, #MeToo, crime, television, drama, power, Margaret Atwood, revenge, Gone Girl, Orange is the New Black, The Handmaid’s Tale, Ozark, Killing Eve Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy 37 Watson From the recent popularity of the anti-heroine in novels and films like Gone Girl to the treatment of complicit women and crime-as-rebellion in Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale to the cultural watershed moments of the #TimesUp and #MeToo movements, there has been a groundswell of support for women seeking justice both within and outside the law. Behavior that once may have been dismissed as madness or instability—Beyoncé laughing wildly while swinging a baseball bat in her revenge-fantasy music video “Hold Up” in the wake of Jay-Z’s indiscretions comes to mind—can be examined with new understanding. -

Public Accounts Committee PAC(4)-05-15 PTN2 Ms Eluned Parrott AM Assembly Member for South Wales Central National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay Cardiff CF99 1NA Date: 4 February 2015 Our ref: HVT/2266/fgb Page: 1 of 3 Dear Eluned WELSH GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN ROATH BASIN On 16 June 2014, you wrote asking me to examine claims made by the former First Minister – Rhodri Morgan – that the Welsh Government had spent £10 million on road improvements in Cardiff Bay to enable BBC Wales to build a new headquarters building at the Roath Basin site adjacent to the BBC’s ‘Drama Village’. Media coverage at the time of your letter had quoted Mr Morgan’s assertion that the decision by BBC Wales to instead locate its new headquarters in the centre of Cardiff was contrary to indications he had been given by a former BBC official – Nigel Walker – that, when required, the new headquarters would indeed be located at Roath Lock. I am writing now to advise you of the outcome of work that Wales Audit Office staff have undertaken on my behalf to consider these issues. Wales Audit Office staff have reviewed relevant documentary evidence and they have discussed this matter with Welsh Government officials. They have also sought confirmation of certain factual matters from the BBC. However, they have not sought to discuss the details of this matter with current or former BBC officials, or with the former First Minister. I should emphasise that my audit powers give me no right of access to the BBC. The BBC Trust appoints its own auditor, currently Ernst and Young, and while the National Audit Office (NAO) does conduct value for money studies of the BBC’s use of licence fee income, these are underpinned by the provisions – specifically clause 79 – of the July 2006 ‘Broadcasting Agreement’, as amended in September 2011, between the Secretary of State for Culture Media & Sport and the BBC. -

ABSTRACT JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS' ATTITUDES and TREATMENT TOWARD “BAD GIRLS” Lisa Shelton, MA Department of Sociology
ABSTRACT JUVENILE PROBATION OFFICERS’ ATTITUDES AND TREATMENT TOWARD “BAD GIRLS” Lisa Shelton, MA Department of Sociology Northern Illinois University, 2018 Dr. Kristen Myers Director Adolescent girls have a reputation for being the most undesirable population to work with in the judicial and correctional systems. This reputation is largely due to the heavy stigmatization of juvenile girls who do not behave in ways that are consistent with traditional standards of femininity. In this study, I examine probation officers’ interactions with their juvenile clients. I closely noted differences and similarities in the treatment given to boys and girls and where various strategies tend to be either beneficial or unsuccessful.
