Watch at least 2 different reality-based Law Enforcement television shows such as COPS and keep a record of the following information for each crime/event.
The gender and race of the suspects
The gender and race of the police officers
The type of crime
The products being advertised during these programs
Questions to consider:
What is the predominant race of the suspects? The police officers?
Do you notice any difference in the behavior of the suspects and police officers when they are both the same race? Of difference races? Of different genders?
What types of crimes are featured? Does one type of crime predominate?
Are the products advertised during these programs directed toward any specific subgroup of the population? Are they age or gender based?
