Television programs such as “First 48” and “Cops” to name a few has the ability of giving society the sociological insight of the justice system. The programs provide vital information for the public to have some understanding about the system.”The public’s conception of crime is to a large extent shaped by the media.The media can mislead the public about the nature of crime” (Introduction to Criminal Justice,p.7).

The police first has to discover a crime has been committed and gather evidence. The evidence has to be solid enough for an arrest to be made.
