The media continue to have a significant persuasive influence on
the public perception of crime, even when the information presented
is not reflective of the crime rate or actual crime itself. There
have been numerous theoretical studies on fear of crime in the
media, but few have considered this from a social psychological
perspective. As new media outlets emerge and public dependence on
them increases, the need for such awareness has never been greater.
This volume lays the foundation for understanding fear of crime
from a social psychological perspective in a way that has not yet
been systematically presented to the academic world. This volume
brings together an international team of experts and scholars to
assess the role of fear and the media in everyday life. Chapters
take a multidisciplinary approach to psychology, sociology and
criminology and explore such topics as dual process theory,
construal level theory, public fascination with gangs, and other
contemporary issues.
