This title looks at the study of crime and deviance through
written, spoken and visual representation. There is now a long
tradition of academic literature analysing the way our societies
come to think about and define crime and the important part that
the media play in this process. This book for the first time deals
specifically with the role of language in representations and
constructions of crime, deviance and punishment in the media.
Combining theoretical perspectives from linguistics, sociology,
criminology and media studies, it provides a toolkit for the
analysis of language and images in examples across a range of
media. Including critical and multimodal discourse analysis,
emphasis is placed on practically demonstrating the tools that can
be used for the linguistic analysis of media representations of
crime and deviance. It covers both spoken and written discourse and
focuses on a number of specific areas of crime and criminal
justice, including young people and women, the way the media
represent criminal justice agencies, corporate crime, and crime and
deviance in popular culture. It is a welcome and valuable resource
for students and academics in linguistics, media studies,
criminology and sociology.
