Working broadly from the perspective of cultural criminology,
Crime, Media and Culture engages with theories and debates about
the nature of media-audience relations, examines representations of
crime and justice in news media and fiction, and considers the
growing significance of digital technologies and social media. The
book discusses the multiple effects media representations of crime
have on audiences but also the ways media portrayals of crime and
disorder influence government policy and lawmaking. It also
considers the processes by which certain stories are selected for
their newsworthiness. Also examined are the theoretical, conceptual
and methodological underpinnings of cultural criminology and its
subfields of visual criminology and narrative criminology. Drawing
on case studies and empirical examples from the increasingly
blurred worlds of reality and entertainment, the dynamics of crime,
media and culture are illuminated across a range of chapters
covering topics that include: moral panics/folk devils and trial by
media; fear of crime; cop shows and courtroom dramas; female
criminality and child-on-child killing; serial killers;
surveillance, new media and policing; organized crime and state
crime. Crime, Media and Culture will be an invaluable resource for
undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in criminology
and media studies. The book will also prove useful for lecturers
and academic researchers wishing to explore the intersections of
crime, media and cultural inquiry.
