The study of English ‘Grindr Killer’ Stephen Port’s crimes, and the homophobia that ensued withing Barking and Dagenham’s Police division during his investigation, drew light on the true scale of homophobia within the UK Police as a whole, prompting the latter section of the critical discussion within this thesis. This section will explore, not only the documented cases of prejudice within the UK Police from various reports and other news sources, but will also use the independent survey carried out in the latter section to explore participants’ experiences, issues and overall satisfaction with how the Police handled their complaints/the reporting of any crime they may have experienced. The second part of the thesis will explore the influence and effect of the research on the creative accompaniment, demonstrating how key findings and data sourced throughout the critical analysis section shaped, and formed, elements of the creative piece - from underlying themes to storylines and characterisations. This section will also include any additional research and findings gathered, to not only factor into the creative discussion, but also to strengthen the arguments raised throughout. The last section of this thesis will include the show bible document for the creative accompaniment “No Strings Attached” – exploring in-depth aspects of themes, plot structure, storylines, and characterisation. The thesis will then conclude with all three ‘No Strings Attached’ screenplays - Episodes One, Two and Three.</abstract><type>E-Thesis</type><journal/><volume/><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication>Swansea, Wales, UK</placeOfPublication><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Creative Writing, Criminology</keywords><publishedDay>28</publishedDay><publishedMonth>2</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2024</publishedYear><publishedDate>2024-02-28</publishedDate><doi>10.23889/SUthesis.66286</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Culture and Communications School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>CACS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><supervisor>Vaughan, Nicola ; Britton, David</supervisor><degreelevel>Doctoral</degreelevel><degreename>Ph.D</degreename><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-09-02T12:08:42.5204031</lastEdited><Created>2024-05-03T08:49:39.2487946</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Culture and Communication - English Literature, Creative Writing</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Andrew</firstname><surname>Pankhurst</surname><order>1</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>66286__31211__ac0b4f0f51ea403f8c56d93b7a84d536.pdf</filename><originalFilename>Pankhurst_Andrew_PhD_Thesis_Final_Cronfa.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2024-09-02T12:06:24.4768050</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>6292633</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>E-Thesis – open access</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>Copyright: The Author, Andrew Pankhurst, 2024.
