摘要：This article provides a generalized analysis of the significant role that one medium of popular culture, the movies, is capable of playing in criminal justice education, particularly at the undergraduate level. The article should be viewed as a generalized, "survey" type of effort. Only glimpses of the possibilities are intended here. The universe of specific worthwhile teaching points and the number of movies (or at least specific scenes from them) that individual criminal justice instructors might personally choose to introduce to their students are as varied as the discipline itself. We also labor under the assumption that no one knows the intended course objectives quite like the teacher actually delivering the course. Therefore, the film material that one instructor might choose to best convey the desired message(s) will often be different from that which is more appealing to another teacher. A few examples of potential applications are supplied simply to orient more teachers toward the concept involved, and to suggest that with certain caveats the old adage that "things in the real world aren't like they are in the movies" may ignore some valuable lessons that film really iscapable of delivering
