• A very British Gangster

I have chosen this as one of my sources as i believe it is an invaluable insight into the reality behind the lives of the stereotypical "criminal". With out this view my research would be useless due to the fact that this is the only video footage included in my research opposing the view of the glamorised criminal.

• Hustle

Produced by BBC

www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle

I have chosen this source as it shows the ludicrous glamorisation of a criminal profession often thought of as dire and scummy. It will also offer a healthy contrast to that of the BBC's articles on Con Men robbing old ladies in late 2007.

• BBC news article on "old woman robbed by Con Men"
  

www.news.bbc.co.uk

I have chosen this source as i believe that not only does it show criminals in a negative light, but also battles with the ethics behind a programme like Hustle, also produced by the BBC. contrasting with the thousands of pounds being earned by the fictional characters in Hustle with the £700 con featuring and elderly woman, reported in the news.
