Crime in Film/Media/Popular Culture Tweet Chat

[Intellect_Books]

On Thursday 7th August at 4.30pm BST Intellect academic publishers will be holding a Tweet chat on the topic of Crime in Film/Media/Popular Culture. As you have an interest in True Crime shows I thought you may wish to be involved in this discussion. The topic is flexible to being taken in the appropriate direction to examine your interests in crime and the way it is represented.
