The media plays a significant role in shaping public perception... Show more
This page delves into the role of social media and music in representing and influencing crime, as well as their potential for crime prevention.
Social media has a dual impact on crime. It can fuel criminal activities such as hate crimes, racism, and stalking, which are easier to commit online.
Example: The London riots in 2011 were planned and organized over social media, demonstrating its potential for facilitating criminal activities.
However, social media also plays a crucial role in crime prevention. The public can raise awareness about different crimes by sharing information and images. Law enforcement agencies use social media to share updates about ongoing situations and seek potential witnesses.
Highlight: The dual nature of social media in both fueling and preventing crime showcases the complex relationship between technology and criminal activities.
Music, particularly certain genres, often features crime-related themes. Artists like Eminem and Nirvana have been known to incorporate criminal elements in their lyrics. Drill rap videos commonly feature threatening lyrics, and there have been cases where such lyrics aimed at rival gangs have led to assaults and murders.
Example: Drill rap videos with threatening lyrics have been linked to real-world violence between street gangs.
The media representation of crime in television shows, films, and other media forms has significant impacts on society. It can influence public perception, moral panic, and even legal processes. The concept of "folk devils" emerges from media representation, where certain groups are perceived as threats to societal values.
Vocabulary: Folk devils - Groups or individuals perceived as threats to societal values and interests, often as a result of media portrayal.
As time progresses, the representation of crime in media continues to evolve, reflecting and sometimes influencing societal attitudes towards criminal activities. This dynamic relationship between media and crime perception underscores the importance of critical media consumption and awareness of potential biases in crime reporting and representation.
This page explores various forms of media and their role in representing crime to the public. It covers newspapers, television, films, electronic gaming, social media, and music, providing insights into how each medium portrays criminal activities.
Vocabulary: Tabloid - A type of newspaper with small pages, many pictures, and sometimes short stories.
Vocabulary: Broadsheet - A newspaper that is printed on large sheets of paper.
Vocabulary: Scaremongering - The spreading of stories that can scare the public or cause fear.
Newspapers dedicate a significant amount of space to crime reporting, often focusing on violent crimes such as stabbings, shootings, murders, and terrorist attacks. A study found that a substantial percentage of news reports are about crime. When major events occur, newspapers often feature extensive coverage with photos and reports, sometimes exaggerating the severity of the crime, which can lead to public fear.
Television broadcasts both real and fictional crime content. For example, "Brooklyn 99" is a fictional crime show, while dramas like "The Act" are based on real-life cases. Research from 2007 indicated that around 1/10 of prime-time TV was based on crime and law enforcement, with this figure increasing in recent years.
Example: "The Act" is a true-crime drama based on the life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, showcasing how television can represent real criminal cases.
Films also play a significant role in media representation of crime, with a considerable portion of all films being crime movies. Both real and fictional crime stories are portrayed in cinema.
Highlight: The 1993 James Bulger murder case highlighted the potential influence of media on crime, as the perpetrators cited the movie "Child's Play 3" as an influence.
Electronic gaming is another medium that represents crime, often targeting adult audiences with violent content. There are concerns about the potential desensitization to violence through prolonged exposure to violent video games.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.
