‘The relationship between visual technologies and the criminal justice system can be traced back to the emergence of photography and the invention of the camera as a tool for documenting ‘reality’ in the nineteenth century. The camera was widely believed, even more so than today, to be able to objectively and truthfully record social reality. A photograph was perceived to be like a window on the world — a mechanically produced, impartial and literal representation of the real world.’
- Liam French, lecturer in the Journalism and Media Department at the University of St. Mark & St. John
