Abstract or Keywords
Students in a forensic psychology course critiqued fictional screen media (i.e., television and movies) with regard to how they portrayed forensic professionals. Students developed multimedia presentations in which they showed several excerpts from movies and television shows and discussed both accurate and inaccurate portrayals of forensic professionals. Results showed that this project enabled students to apply what they had learned in the course and helped them consider how the media may affect the general population's understanding of forensic issues.
