ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to extend the existing media and crime literature by discussing how minority criminal justice personnel are granted or not granted intellectual authority in fictional crime dramas by their representation as presenters of crime and non-crime fact-based statements. An analysis of 117 episodes from four fictional crime dramas appearing in the top 20 Nielson ratings from 2003 to 2010 indicate that Black characters are not given the same intellectual authority as White characters, and therefore are imbued with less power and status than their White counterparts. In some cases, Black characters are not even given intellectual authority within their respective intellectual fields.

种族，刑事司法专业人员和虚构犯罪剧本中的智力权威

摘要本研究的目的是通过讨论虚构的犯罪戏剧如何通过以犯罪和非犯罪事实陈述为代表，来授予或不授予少数群体刑事司法人员智力，从而扩展现有的媒体和犯罪文献。对2003年至2010年尼尔森（Nielson）收视率排名前20位的四部虚构犯罪剧中的117集进行的分析表明，黑人人物的智力与白人人物不同，因此与白人人物相比，黑人的权力和地位更低。在某些情况下，甚至不会在其各自的知识领域内赋予黑人字符以知识上的权威。
