Sponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media
Sociology section of the American Sociological Association
(CITAMS), this volume of Studies in Media and Communications
features social science research that examines the practices,
patterns, and messages related to representations of crime in mass
media around the world. Chapters focus on a wide range of
fact-based and fictional accounts of criminality as depicted in
print and broadcast news, documentary and video-on-demand films,
and television programs. Stories about crime and criminality have
long been the mainstay of news and entertainment media content, and
the intersection of crime and media is a common topic in scholarly
research. Moreover, substantial evidence indicates that these media
depictions are highly influential as people in economically
advanced societies - who tend to have little personal experience
with crime-form perceptions about criminality, crime rates,
characteristics of criminals, and even their own likelihood of
victimization. Thus, ongoing examination of crime images within
various types of mass media aids in understanding the associated
messages and meanings that are disseminated to consumers. This
volume will enhance the knowledge of junior and senior scholars in
criminology, sociology, journalism, and communication/media
studies, particularly because of its inclusion of crime stories in
a variety of formats and that represent media content from nations
spanning five continents.
