I am brand new to the study of museum's so please forgive me if
this question prompt's obvious answers that I have overlooked.

I am interested in finding out about museum's and public displays
that deal with the topic of crime and/or punishment. Just as some
example's, here in Vancouver the local police have their own
small museum. I have also heard that former and current prisons
have been turned into public exhibits (eg. Alcatraz). There is
also the wax museum phenomena where murderer's are simulated.
There is even a working prison in the former Soviet Union where
people pay for a week-long incarceration in the cells.

If anyone knows of any literature (academic or popular) on this
type of thing or can pass on some other examples I would be
greatly appreciative.

Cheers,
