From video games that allow us to participate in Mafia-style
violence, to newspaper reports about the latest terrorist atrocity,
from detective novels that fill our bedside cabinets, to
Hollywood's beloved legal dramas - the mass media is saturated with
stories about crime, justice and disorder. Together they create a
cultural landscape of crime that is distinctly at odds with
reality, as criminologists are apt to complain. Crime and the Media
attempts to make sense of this cultural landscape and its
relationship with broader social trends and public attitudes.
Through focussed, critical discussions about crime in the media -
taking on crime news and fictional representations of cops, courts,
and corrections - the text equips students with an understanding of
the key theoretical concepts and methodological tools that are
required to undertake media analysis. With questions for
discussion, exercises and workshop sessions, as well as techniques
for analysing crime in a range of media formats, the book makes an
invaluable contribution to crime and media courses, and to the
social sciences in general.
