Media and Crime

by Yvonne Jewkes

"Established as the most comprehensive and thought-provoking title in this field, Yvonne Jewkes's Media and Crime explores the complex interactions between media and crime from a critical and authoritative standpoint. Retaining and updating coverage of the core issues in the subject - news reporting of crime; media constructions of children and women; moral panics; media and the police; 'reality' crime shows; surveillance and social control - the book now also includes chapters on cybercrime and crime film."--Publisher's website.
