Do cop shows glorify crime, in the minds of some teenagers? And similerly, do prison shows glorify prison life?
My answer to this is yes!

Fictional cops and prison shows yes but every cop and prision reality show that I've seen if anything would discourage kids of doing crime.

I'm sorry, I should have made myself clearer. I'm refering to the reality cop/prison shows, not the dramas.
And yes, I do feel that they inadvertently glorify crime, in the minds of some teens.
I remember reading, years ago, that the show Cops had become a big hit among cons. Only they were rooting for the bad guys, not the cops!
