Book Synopsis
An insightful character-study of one of television's most compelling detectives

Trade Review

"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."--Michael A. Hallett, author of Private Prisons in America: A Critical Race Perspective

"This book should appeal to anyone interested in examining or studying portrayals of women in the mass media and popular culture, as well as anyone interested in how fiction can relate to and reflect the real world."--Contemporary Sociology
