The TV program that I choose is called “Dexter.” The show Dexter is an American television series. The main character name is Dexter Morgan. Dexter worked for the Miami- Metro Police Department. His job consists of being a forensic blood spatter analyst. Dexter is the one who basically solves all the cases when it comes with blood. Throughout the season he solves different cases that no one else could solve. Working with the Miami- Metro police department, would make you think that he is not guilty of any crime. Well Dexter Morgan lives two lives, and no one from his team knows. Not even his sister Deb that works for the Miami-Metro Police Department knows that he has a double life. The only person that knows about Dexter’s double life would be his father Harry. Dexter is not only a blood spatter analyst, but he is also a serial killer. The situation with Dexter is that he is a serial killer with a psychological hunger. You could also consider Dexter being …show more content…

One perception, I took that I have thought about before is that there is corrupt workers in the system. The reason for that being because Dexter is committing crime, while working for the Miami Metro Police Department in which makes him to be corrupt agent. Another opinion about this series is that I agree and disagree with what Dexter did. One reason why I agree is because he is taking care of a guilty murder. The government would not have to worry about the person being in prison. We wouldn’t have to worry about the funding for that certain person or even having to pay for a lethal injection. At the same time I do not agree with what he was doing. One reason is because Dexter was doing basically doing the same thing. He was committing homicide too. Another reason why I disagree is because he was doing for pleasure. It was his own benefit on why he was doing what he was doing. He was following a certain code that leads him to take the action he was

With guns drawn and threats that they would “blow his head off”, the officers unjustly searched his car and held him at gunpoint. Stevenson explains his immense fear of these supposed upholders of the law, and how their own racial suspicions of him could have easily led to his death. The police maintain the ability to sentence civilians to death in a heartbeat, and unfortunately are guided by racial biases to at times unjustly distribute this punishment. This ability to kill is necessary for police officers to protect the community, yet continues to be grossly misused. While this right to kill is different from a judge and jury’s right to kill, misuse by both parties supports the claim that the death penalty is too powerful to be justly distributed.

The main example throughout the documentary was the “rotten pocket” example that is used to describe a corruption in the prescient where more than one officer is corrupt, and are cooperating to fulfill this illegal act. In the documentary, Michaels partner described how everyone, even up to the captain was corrupt and in on their ring. This is a big problem within police departments since other officers will lie to protect their own, instead of doing what is in the best interest of the station, and the criminal justice system. Many programs like the early intervention systems and the mixed approach to police accountability The main goal of these programs being implemented, is to protect the agency from double-crossing officers and protect the

Detective fiction is one of the most popular forms of fiction in America. In his article, “American Detective Fiction,” Robin W. Winks addresses the fact that in spite of this popularity, the genre has received little critical attention that studies the work for itself. He explains the two types of errors that critics have made when looking at detective fiction: the high road, where critics claim classic works were detective fiction all along, and the low road, where critics poorly execute their analysis and simply give detailed plot summaries. Winks then goes on to describe how American detective fiction has something to offer because it reflects how the society of the time sees itself. This article is mostly effective in proving its claims
