Sensationalist newspaper coverage of crime has been a matter of
keen public interest. But what role has sensationalist reporting
played in creating public understanding of the criminal justice
system in England and Wales? This book provides an answer,
presenting an engaging account of crime reportage from the late
eighteenth century to the present day; from the era of specialist
reporters to the days of modern investigative journalism. Written
in a lively and accessible style and locating familiar crime
stories from Constance Kent to Sara Payne in their contemporary
presentations to newspaper readers, the chapters explore crime news
in broadsheet, quality and tabloid publications and explain its
importance to how the criminal justice system has been understood.
The book identifies why particular crime stories came to public
prominence and how these were constructed and presented for popular
consumption, offering new ways of thinking about reportage and the
criminal justice system.
