Use the historical stuff as a way to understand the range of representations - so analyse some clips of older stuff such as Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars or The Sweeney, but SPEND THE BULK OF YOUR TIME ON STUFF WHICH IS ON TV NOW. You will be saying "Having understood the historical range of representations, I now needed to see what was on offer on television today".
Look at tv listings and decide on three. Compare their reps of cops with what you have learnt from your historical analysis.
Choose some extracts which illustrate your analyses and work out a way to use them with a target audience or members of a target audience to explore what pleasures they offer/anxieties they address etc.
