October 2, 2024October 2, 2024 Discipline: Criminal justice

 In this section, we covered some serious problems with how the media wrongly portrays (and the general public misunderstands) some really important topics. Among them is what a psychopath is, mental illness and its relationship to violence, competence to stand trial and the insanity defense.

Because these issues are so commonly improperly portrayed, your assignment for this week is to find a reference to one. It can be a news story, magazine article, blog post, movie release or any relatively recent (within the past 6 months) public dissemination of misinformation about one of these topics.


 

 

 
Requirements for Your Initial Post

Share the source (include a link if possible) of the misinformation in the discussion below and along with it write a short (350-500 word) thoughtful analysis based on what you’ve learned in this course. If the article, etc. was dreadfully wrong or got it absolutely right, explain how, why. Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59 pm CST. 
 
  

 

Important Note from the Instructor

Note: Don’t forget to integrate your thoughts, opinions, and critical thinking about the subject into your posts.
