Taking on one of the most popular issues of the day--crime and the
way we make sense of it--Julian Roberts and Loretta Stalans reveal
the mismatch between the public perception of crime and the reality
of crime statistics. Discussing such issues as public knowledge of
crime, sources of crime information, information processing by the
public, public attitudes about crime, and the effectiveness of
punishment, this book considers the role that public opinion plays
in the politics of criminal justice issues. Based on extensive data
from the United States, with comparisons with Canada and the United
Kingdom, Roberts and Stalans reveal the truth behind how the public
perceives crime and how this perception compares to actual criminal
activity.
