A campus shooting. A gang assault. A school bus ambush. With each
successive event, fingers are pointed at the usual suspects:
violent films, bloody video games, explicit web sites. But to what
extent can-or should-the media be implicated in youth crime? And
are today's sophisticated young people really that susceptible to
their influence? Adolescents, Crime, and the Media critically
examines perceptions of these phenomena through the lens of the
ongoing relationship between generations of adults and youth. A
wealth of research findings transcends the standard nature/nurture
debate, analyzing media effects on young people's behavior, brain
development in adolescence, ways adults can be misled about youth's
participation in criminal acts, and how science can be manipulated
by prevailing attitudes toward youth. The author strikes a
necessary balance between the viewpoints of media providers and
those seeking to restrict media or young people's access to them.
And the book brings scientific and intellectual rigor to culturally
and politically charged issues as it covers: Violence in the media.
Media portrayals of crime and youth. Research on violent television
programs, video games, and other media as causes of crime. Effects
of pornography on behavior. Public policy, censorship, and First
Amendment issues. Adolescents, Crime, and the Media is an essential
resource for researchers, graduate students, professionals, and
clinicians across such interrelated disciplines as developmental
psychology, sociology, educational policy, criminology/criminal
justice, child and school psychology, and media law.
