Standardized Regression Coefficients for the Relationship between Crime Drama Viewing and Expectations for Scientific Evidence as Mediated By Knowledge in the Criminal Justice System 122 viii ABSTRACT Across two studies, factors hypothesized to be involved in the CSI effect were examined. In study 1 (N = 245), a correlational design was used to determine relations between heavy crime drama viewers and their knowledge and expectations for scientific evidence. Heavy viewers were more knowledgeable about the criminal justice system and held greater expectations for scientific evidence than light crime drama viewers. In study 2 (N = 239), participants were randomly assigned to view four episodes of a crime drama, a medical drama, or no show and then complete measures of knowledge and expectations. Although no differences were found between conditions, results of study 2 replicated the results of study 1, showing that heavy crime drama viewers were more knowledgeable about the criminal justice system and held greater expectations for scientific evidence. Together, these studies provide support for the existence of the CSI effect. In addition, tests of mediation showed that knowledge completely mediated the relationship between crime drama viewing and expectations. Implications for future research on the CSI effect are discussed. 1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION In 2005, Hollywood star Robert Blake, most well known for playing detective Tony Baretta in the 1970’s crime drama “Baretta”, was charged with first-degree murder in the 2001 death of his wife of six months, Bonnie Lee Bakley. Bakley was shot and killed while sitting in a parked car outside a restaurant in Studio City, CA. Blake stated that he had re- entered the restaurant to retrieve his gun which he had left at the table when the shooting occurred, though none of the other patrons could recall Blake re-entering the restaurant that evening (Steinhaus, 2007). The prosecution’s case, which lasted over five weeks, was mostly composed of circumstantial, rather than direct, evidence. Whereas direct evidence directly links a defendant to a crime (e.g., eyewitness testimony or physical evidence such as DNA, or blood), circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence in which the jury must use logic and reason to infer a defendant’s guilt or innocence (e.g., a defendant’s behavior around the time of the crime). Although direct evidence is viewed as more powerful, in many cases little or no evidence of this type is available. In the eyes of the law, circumstantial evidence is seen as equal to direct evidence, and a majority of successful prosecutions are based largely on circumstantial evidence alone, including such high profile cases as the prosecution of the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, and the Scott Peterson trial (Heller, 2006). In the Blake case, the prosecution presented circumstantial evidence in the form of testimony of more than 70 witnesses; some testified about Blake’s character (e.g., he was abusive to his wife) and others testified about the alleged murder plot.

  • Narco-Narratives and Transnational Form: the Geopolitics of Citation in the Circum-Caribbean
    Narco-narratives and Transnational Form: The Geopolitics of Citation in the Circum-Caribbean Jason Frydman [email protected] Brooklyn College Abstract: This essay argues that narco-narratives--in film, television, literature, and music-- depend on structures of narrative doubles to map the racialized and spatialized construction of illegality and distribution of death in the circum-Caribbean narco-economy. Narco-narratives stage their own haunting by other geographies, other social classes, other media; these hauntings refract the asymmetries of geo-political and socio-cultural power undergirding both the transnational drug trade and its artistic representation. The circum-Caribbean cartography offers both a corrective to nation- or language-based approaches to narco-culture, as well as a vantage point on the recursive practices of citation that are constitutive of transnational narco-narrative production. A transnational field of narrative production responding to the violence of the transnational drug trade has emerged that encompasses music and film, television and journalism, pulp and literary fiction. Cutting across nations, languages, genres, and media, a dizzying narrative traffic in plotlines, character-types, images, rhythms, soundtracks, expressions, and gestures travels global media channels through appropriations, repetitions, allusions, shoutouts, ripoffs, and homages. While narco-cultural production extends around the world, this essay focuses on the transnational frame of the circum-Caribbean as a zone of particularly dense, if not foundational, narrative traffic. The circum-Caribbean cartography offers 2 both a corrective to nation- or language-based approaches to narco-culture, as well as a vantage point on incredibly recursive practices of citation that are constitutive of the whole array of narco-narrative production: textual, visual, and sonic.

  • Stemming the Tide: the Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI
    http://genderandset.open.ac.uk Stemming the Tide: The Presentation of Women Scientists in CSI Shane Warren1, Mark Goodman1, Rebecca Horton1, Nate Bynum2 1Mississippi State University, 2University of Nevada Las Vegas, USA ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the role of Sara Sidle played by Jorja Fox in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) for 15 years, and her female co-stars, allowing us to discuss specific rewards and punishments (Fiske, 1987) assigned over the course of many episodes. We reviewed three of the 15 years of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation to understand the media presentation of women scientists. We found that CSI did present stereotypical views of the female investigators and that the female characters playing these roles were often punished by the script. However, we also found that the show provided an opportunity for the story of women to be told by these female characters. Accordingly, our examination of the character of Sara Sidle and the other forensic scientists found that the portrayal was more complex than previously literature suggests.
