Concept information
Preferred term
police in literature and theater
Definition
- Intense interest in the operations of police departments and the travails of police officers has resulted in these being popular themes in literature and theater. Unlike detective novels, which usually concentrate on a single crime and its consequences, literature that concentrates on the police often explores investigations into several unrelated crimes.
