Media, Process, and the Social Construction of Crime Studies in Newsmaking Criminology

The readings examine the day-to-day operations of video and print journalists, analyzing how the media contributes to and reflects the dominant cultural ideologies about crime and crime control.Barak, Gregg is the author of 'Media, Process, and the Social Construction of Crime Studies in Newsmaking Criminology' with ISBN 9780815318552 and ISBN 0815318553.
