From Jeffrey Dahmer to Hannibal Lecter, from John Gotti to Don Corleone, real and imagined criminals and their crimes are a mainstay of media and entertainment. This volume explores the American criminal obsession. It also looks at how popular culture portrayals of crime and criminals affect perceptions of real crime and of the criminal justice system.

I used this collection for two sections of courses in composition and it was the most popular text of the quarter in both classes. The articles Koopmans has collected are engaging and interesting, as well as being entertaining.I would highly recommend this book for teachers of high school and college.
