| Abstract: | This study explores the portrayal of gender in crime drama series broadcast on prime-time television (TV). It does so by comparing two long-running, crime drama series in the United States to highlight best practices in terms of gendered discourse as portrayed in this genre. This study seeks to answer the following questions: 1. What are the discourses surrounding gender portrayal in TV crime drama series? 2. How may these gendered discourses impact society’s view of men and women? 3. Do the gendered portrayals mirror gender roles prevalent in today’s Western society? |
