Reviews for Justice Provocateur
"Exploring the television series Prime Suspect as an exemplar of a newly emergent 'progressive moral fiction,' Cavender and Jurik blend an examination of gender role dynamics in the criminal justice system with the experience of victims, offenders, and professionals within that system. Justice Provocateur offers a novel device for exploring social class and justice through popular culture."
