This book examines the relationship between police, media and the
public and analyses the shifting techniques and technologies
through which they communicate. In a critical discussion of
contemporary and emerging modes of mediatized police work, Lee and
McGovern demonstrate how the police engage with the public through
a fluid and quickly expanding assemblage of communications and
information technologies. Policing and Media explores the
rationalities that are driving police/media relations and asks; how
these relationships differ (or not) from the ways they have
operated historically; what new technologies are influencing and
being deployed by policing organizations and police public
relations professionals and why; how operational policing is
shaping and being shaped by new technologies of communication; and
what forms of resistance are evident to the manufacture of
preferred images of police. The authors suggest that new forms of
simulated and hyper real policing using platforms such as social
media and reality television are increasingly positioning police
organisations as media organisations, and in some cases enabling
police to bypass the traditional media altogether. The book is
informed by empirical research spanning ten years in this field and
includes chapters on journalism and police, policing and social
media, policing and reality television, and policing resistances.
It will be of interest to those researching and teaching in the
fields of Criminology, Policing and Media, as well as police and
media professionals.
