Nilsson, Linn. "The portrayal of Crime : Printed news media's representation of crime in Malmö." Thesis, Malmö universitet, Institutionen för kriminologi (KR), 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-45495.
Full textAbstract:
In today's modern society we are highly exposed to different media in our everyday life, and individuals may spend a large part of their time taking part in media debates, news and other information shared on different media channels. Through this, news media have become an influential factor for how individuals in today's society perceive and construct reality, and consequently the public's perception of crime. This critical analysis strives to elucidate how crime in Malmö is presented in Swedish newspapers. This report is centered on which discourses emerge throughout the chosen empirical material, how different crime types are presented and how victims and perpetrators are constructed in this material. By studying how Malmö is presented through a commonly used news media source, it is possible to uncover how collective understandings of crime are created and affirmed, which is essential in order to be able to influence this established (but arguably somewhat radical) image. Newspapers' presentation of Malmö differs from the description of other major cities in Sweden, and Malmö is often illustrated as a dangerous or unsafe city with high crime rates. The perception of crime in Malmö given through the official statistics are overshadowed by news media's accentuation of violent and lethal crime. A skewed division of crime reporting, may therefore be an important factor for the public's perception of crime in Malmö. Crimes are depicted as an effect of larger societal problems and an integral part of everyday life. Few articles dispute the established image of Malmö as dangerous, and the few who do only briefly highlight this to an extremely limited extent, resulting in the preservation and reproduction of the majority's presentation of Malmö as a dangerous or unsecure city.

Alruily, Meshrif. "Using text mining to identify crime patterns from Arabic crime news report corpus." Thesis, De Montfort University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2086/7584.
Full textAbstract:
Most text mining techniques have been proposed only for English text, and even here, most research has been conducted on specific texts related to special contexts within the English language, such as politics, medicine and crime. In contrast, although Arabic is a widely spoken language, few mining tools have been developed to process Arabic text, and some Arabic domains have not been studied at all. In fact, Arabic is a language with a very complex morphology because it is highly inflectional, and therefore, dealing with texts written in Arabic is highly complicated. This research studies the crime domain in the Arabic language, exploiting unstructured text using text mining techniques. Developing a system for extracting important information from crime reports would be useful for police investigators, for accelerating the investigative process (instead of reading entire reports) as well as for conducting further or wider analyses. We propose the Crime Profiling System (CPS) to extract crime-related information (crime type, crime location and nationality of persons involved in the event), automatically construct dictionaries for the existing information, cluster crime documents based on certain attributes and utilize visualisation techniques to assist in crime data analysis. The proposed information extraction approach is novel, and it relies on computational linguistic techniques to identify the abovementioned information, i.e. without using predefined dictionaries (e.g. lists of location names) and annotated corpus. The language used in crime reporting is studied to identify patterns of interest using a corpus-based approach. Frequency analysis, collocation analysis and concordance analysis are used to perform the syntactic analysis in order to discover the local grammar. Moreover, the Self Organising Map (SOM) approach is adopted in order to perform the clustering and visualisation tasks for crime documents based on crime type, location or nationality. This clustering technique is improved because only refined data containing meaningful keywords extracted through the information extraction process are inputted into it, i.e. the data is cleaned by removing noise. As a result, a huge reduction in the quantity of data fed into the SOM is obtained, consequently, saving memory, data loading time and the execution time needed to perform the clustering. Therefore, the computation of the SOM is accelerated. Finally, the quantization error is reduced, which leads to high quality clustering. The outcome of the clustering stage is also visualised and the system is able to provide statistical information in the form of graphs and tables about crimes committed within certain periods of time and within a particular area.

Full textAbstract:
In the literature researchers don't agree whether news content in China in an era of media commercialization still functions to promote the dominant ideology of the ruling Communist Party. The thesis is a theoretical discussion of ideology, ideological hegemony and its evolving nature, with the consideration of Chinese situations. The theoretical discussion concludes that the dominant ideology in China is changing with the demands of a changing world, and so is media's representation of ideology. With some explorative data of crime news on three domestic and non-domestic news web sites to illustrate the theoretical discussion, the author of the thesis finds that in an era of media commercialization the ideological influence still plays a bigger role than the commercial influence in shaping crime news content of domestic media. Moreover, ideological messages are distributed through crime news in such subtle and indirect forms as the selection of official news sources, the frequent indication of the death penalty, the positive presentation of the police, and the attribution of individual causes to crime.

Schwartz, Kristin Ashby. "Race & Crime on the Evening News: New Orleans in the Days after Hurricane Katrina." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2007. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/520.
Full textAbstract:
This study examines how residents of New Orleans, Louisiana were depicted on a variety of evening news programs in the days after hurricane Katrina. A qualitative content analysis of television news transcripts and select audio-visual footage reveals how the media framed crime, the perpetrators of crime and "looting." Media perpetuation of myths such as residents shooting at helicopters and the focus on "looting" and crime had on initial rescue and recovery efforts are also discussed. Results illustrate that the focus on crime, criminals, and looting was more pronounced in cable than network news. Looting was framed as a criminal endeavor and residents were labeled as criminals without evidence. Violent crime was the most frequently-referred to type of crime. The media as a constructor of moral panics, colorblind racism in the form of a coded racist script, and cultural fear of crime support these results.

Full textAbstract:
The interaction between news production and reception realised by written hard news texts is generally characterised as implicit. However, under the pressure of marketisation, news companies, by using multimodal resources and the internet, produce various types of semiotic effects to make their news texts more interactive and entertaining while maintaining the traditional informative and authorial stances. In this research, I will examine crime news texts as a discourse type and investigate how news companies in Japan and the UK establish an interpersonal relationship with their readers through news reports, juxtaposing images in page-based multimodal news provided online. My main aim is to discuss the interpersonal meanings realised in the data based on three analytical and methodological tools: Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), a semiotic approach to language proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), the visual grammar, an application of SFL to the visual mode, devised by Kress and van Leeuwen (1996) and corpus linguistics. This analysis shows that in the process of news production, facts are interpreted and recontextualised in order to maximise discoursal values. It also shows that the British and the Japanese press realize criminal meanings according to their contextual and cultural values and practices.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to 1994 I had little interest in the activities of the police. As a mass media
consumer I was aware of the prominence of crime in the daily news agenda and I
watched, read and listened to potted summaries of rape, mayhem and murder.
Frequent too, were stories of police malpractice, incompetence and corruption. Police
stories were also a significant part of television drama with programs like the long
running British series The Bill, and a range of Australian productions: The Feds,
Halifax f.p, Rafferty's Rules, Blue Heelers, State Coroner, and Water Rats.
The police also featured at the cinema with crime genre movies Natural Born Killers
(Oliver Stone, USA), Once Were Warriors (Lee Tamahori, New Zealand) and Pulp
Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, USA) becoming box office hits.
My interest in the portrayal of police change dramatically when on the 7th of October
1994, I was appointed Officer-in-Charge of the Media and Publications Branch of the
Australian Federal Police (AFP). I was responsible for all aspects of the
communication function including: media liaison, crisis management, media
management, publications and internal communication.
My branch dealt with media inquiries from local, national and international media
across the gamut of issues facing the AFP. These ranged fiom industrial issues about
budgets and overtime, allegations of corruption and incompetence, and operational
matters as diverse as burglaries, alleged Nazi war criminals, peace-keeping operations
and drug 'busts'.
Needless to say my police stakeholders did not always see things the same way as my
media colleagues. I was seeing at a practical day-to-day level the complex taxonomy
of police/media relations outlined by Putnis (1996). Putnis noted the ubiquity of the
police and the media as social institutions and observed that their daily operations
involved a complex, dynamic, relationship constructed out of many thousands of
interactions, across all levels of the organisations, in many different settings.
My experiences in dealing with the media became the genesis of this study.
My aim is to expand our understanding of the police/media relationship by exploring
characteristic forms of print news-media reports about policing, the impact these
reports have on police, and on law and order policy.
The possibility of bias towards police in this study is acknowledged given I was a
member of a police service fiom 1994 until 2002 and the research relies heavily on
'participant observer' techniques (Kay 1997; Potter1 996; Schofield 1993). Every
effort has been made to maintain a critical perspective on the subject matters raised
and it should be noted my association with police ended prior to the writing-up phase
of the research. In addition to comments fiom my supervisory panel, ongoing
discussions with media colleagues were another strategy adopted to ensure balance in
the writing-up of this study.
This is a unique study in that it offers an insider's perspective of police/media
relations and at a time that represented a watershed for police. The early 90s was a
period of straightened finances for public sector agencies and police, like other
agencies, were under pressure fiom governments to demonstrate the efficient use of
public monies (AFP 1995; Grieve 2000). Reform programs swept through policing
with many, like the AFP, being organised along business lines (Palmer 1995; Etter
1995; Rohl 1999; WAPOL 1999). The 90s were also a watershed for criminal
organisations with the emergence of transnational criminal syndicates, such as drug
traffickers, that had the potential to impact on crime at a local level without even
entering the country, let alone the jurisdiction, in which the crime took place (Bliss
and Harfield 1998; Palmer 1995; McFarlane 1999). In order to combat these
syndicates, police began to work in a more cooperative fashion and formed loose
coalitions, often across countries, in a manner similar to the criminal syndicates they
were trying to combat (Palmer 1995). The 90s also saw the continuation of
committees of inquiry and royal commissions into police malpractice (Landa and
Dillon 1995) and the inevitable bad press for police (Wood 1996; Munday 1995).
The media and police have a symbiotic relationship and it is a critical one as most
members of society have little direct contact with the criminal justice system.
Information about crime, and the efforts of police to combat it, is obtained second
hand through fictional accounts from such vehicles as television dramas, and from the
news media. As aptly described by Hall et al. (1975), nearly thirty years ago, the
media is the link between crime and the public. The police are therefore heavily
reliant on the media to provide a balanced account of the panoply of issues
surrounding the criminal justice system (Cowdery 2001). At its most fundamental,
police require the support of the communities they serve in order to be effective, and
the news media can have a major impact on perceptions about police performance
(Reiner 1997; Surette 1992). As organisational entities, police need to compete with
other bureaucracies for public hnding, and the media is an essential tool in generating
positive publicity about successful operations and policies. The media is, therefore,
critical to the maintenance of positive relationships with the two most important
stakeholders in the policing function: the community and the government.
McGregor (1993) provides a useful summary of the literature relating to print media
coverage of policing issues: there are substantial discrepancies between official
accounts of criminal activity and press reports of crime; the media tends to
homogenise crime by concentrating on a limited range of crimes (mainly violent
crime) and drawing facts from a limited range of sources (police/court reports); the
media over-report serious crimes, especially murder and crimes with a sexual
element; and, the press concentrates crime reportage on events rather than issues, so
crime incidents and specific crimes form the bulk of crime news as opposed to
analyses of the causes of crime or remedies, trends or issues. McQuail (1994, p.256)
reminds us that assessing media performance on the basis of media content, measured
against the extent to which content relates to reality, is open to question. He argues
that there is no general answer to questions of meaning construction, but media
research has pointed to several elements in a more general framework of social and
personal meanings including clues as to what is more or less important, salient or
relevant in many different contexts (1994, p. 379).
An important research question concerns the impact of news media practices,
particularly given the significant costs to the community flowing from the
commission of crime, its investigation by police, and the processing of offenders
through the criminal justice system. The Australian Institute of Criminology estimates
the cost of crime in Australia is approximately $19 billion, while the cost of dealing
with crime is another $13 billion (Mayhew 2003). The news media, articulated
through radio talk-back hosts, are seen as having undue influence on how public funds
on crime control are spent (ABC, The Media Report, 1 August 2002; Chan 1995;
Cowdery 2001; Dixon 2002; Weatherbum 2002). These commentators have pointed
to the serious public policy issues arising from the contribution made by the media
towards what Weatherburn describes as an irrational public debate about law and
order (2002, p. 12) and Hogg and Brown have coined 'the uncivil politics of law and
order' (1998, p. 4). As Hogg and Brown (1998, p. 4) observe:
crime is depicted as a problem of ever-increasing gravity set to overwhelm society unless
urgent, typically punitive measures are taken to control and suppress it.
The influence of the media on public policy has long been recognised. As Paletz and
Entmann (l981, p. 6) observe:
they influence the decisions and actions of politicians; they are open to manipulation by the
powerful which insulates the powerful fiom accountability to the public; they reallocate power
amongst the already powerful; they decreased to a marked extent the ability of ordinary
citizens to judge events; they foment discontent among the public; and they preserve the
legitimacy of the political, economic and social system.
Ethnomethodological approaches (Ericson and Haggerty 1997) underpin the research
in this study. The ethnomethodological approach was used because of its wider scope,
employing as it does, observation, interviewing, and document-analysis techniques
(Ericson et al. 1987, p. 77) and its ability to provide meaning and context to the
phenomena under observation (Hall 1978; Willis l981). Ethnomethodological
approaches are complemented by news framing analyses (Barkin and Gurevitch 1987;
Blood, Putnis and Pirkis 2002; Capella and Jamieson 1996; Coleman 1995; Entman
1993; Kitzinger 2000; Keely 1999; Darling-Wolf 1997; London 1993; Pan and
Kosicki 2001; Miller and Riechert 2001; Pirkis and Blood 2001; Reese, Gandy and
Grant 2003; Scheufele 1999) to explore the news media frames employed in the genre
of print crime reporting.
What emerges from the study is evidence of a one-sided, highly negative, discourse
about policing implemented through a range of media frames centred on conflict and
broader xenophobic and egalitarian narratives. Despite the advantages police have as
information gatekeepers, their attempts to manage the media environment have met
with little success (Hughes 2004; Williams 2002) and the need for police to restrict
access to police communications is being challenged (Crime and Misconduct
Commission 2004, Inquiry into the effects of a Queensland Police Service decision to
adopt digital technology for radio communications). There are exceptions, of course:
the news media are not all bad. Routine reporting of crimes, where details of
offenders are publicised, greatly assists the work of police as reflected in the case of
43-year-old Mr Colin George Dunstan which is discussed in Chapter Eight. Dunstan
sent a series of explosive devices through the mail system in Canberra and police
provided the media with photographs of the devices, Mr Dunstan (who was the main
suspect), and his vehicle. The media coverage restricted Mr Dunstan's movements
and led to his early arrest. Similarly, publication of the details of missing persons,
warnings about lethal batches of drugs and crimes such as drink-spiking, enable
police to reach a mass audience efficiently and quickly. And at a more abstract level,
as noted by McQuail (1994, p. 34), modem communication vehicles can make a
positive contribution to cohesion and community.
The emergence of the 'yapping pack' form of journalism (Tiffen 1999, p. 207) has
resulted in elements of the media exercising a worrying degree of influence over what
should be a broader and better informed debate about criminal justice issues. An
illustration of this process occurred toward the end of this study with the widely
reported spectacle of the Premier of New South Wales presenting his replacement
police minister before radio presenter Mr Alan Jones for his endorsement; the
subsequent involvement of that minister in operational police matters (Williams
2002); and the departure of the state's police commissioner as a result of sustained
media attack (ABC, The Media Report, 1 August 2002; Weatherburn 2002). These
incidents say much about the influence of the news media in relation to police matters
and makes this study a timely one.
What follows is a literature review examining contemporary trends in policing and the
media; a detailed analysis of two major case studies involving complex police
operations; an analysis of a number of examples of print media reports about policing,
to identify typical, or characteristic, media frames; the findings from nearly 50
interviews with senior people involved in the policelmedia interface; and an
examination of changes in the milieu in which media reports about policing occur.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the representation of crime in the news in relation to expressed emotion and intention for future action. Episodic and thematic framing (Iyengar, 1991) and narrative processing (Singer & Bluck, 2001) served as the theoretical foundations of this study and helped examine how scripted news stories involving crime influence levels of fear, anger, and empathy in individuals, and how these emotions subsequently affect behaviors. To measure these framing effects, an experimental manipulation was employed using three conceptually different news stories all involving gun-related crimes. One news story utilized an episodic format, while the other two stories used a thematic format (one positive and one negative). Emotional responses, levels of narrative engagement, policy support, perceived risk of victimization, and pro-social behavioral intentions were measured, all based on exposure to the specific type of news frame. The results of this study indicated that while types of news frames did not have a direct effect on readers' emotions, there was a significant relationship between emotions and future actions. For example, fear, anger, and empathy were significant predictors of perceived risk of victimization, policy support, and pro-social behavioral intentions, respectively. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role emotions play in predicting behavior, both within and beyond the scope of message framing.

Nyhetsrapporteringen av brott och dess inverkan på läsarnas rädsla för brott har i årtionden studerats som ett socialt problem. Dessa studier indikerar på en relation mellan exponeringen av brottsnyheter och uppkomsten av rädsla för brott. Däremot är forskningen gällande brottsrapportering begränsad och lämnar utrymme för frågor gällande hur bristen på information i porträtteringen av brottsnyheter påverkar rädslan för brott bland läsarna. Denna studie undersöker hur presentationen av brottsnyheter gällande mängden information som tilldelas läsaren ser ut och hur denna rapportering påverkar rädslan för brott bland läsarna. Urvalet för studien består av 900 brottsartiklar, publicerade i två lokaltidningar i Skåne, Sverige. Genom innehållsanalys studeras artiklarna utifrån de teoretiska perspektiven kontrollokus, tillskrivning av ansvar och nedåtriktad jämförelse. Resultaten visar att både information gällande kontexten av en brottshandling samt information gällande egenskaper hos offer och gärningsperson sällan porträtteras i brottsartiklar. Resultatet visar också på att frånvaron av denna information kan påverka läsarnas rädsla för brott. Det antyds att detta beror på upplevelsen av bristen att själv kontrollera brottshändelser samt en bristande förmåga att kunna avgöra sin egen risk för utsatthet för brott. Avslutningsvis föreslås utbildning av journalister i författande metoder som kan minskar risken för rädsla för brott bland läsarna.The influence of crime news coverage on fear of crime in the audience has for decades been evaluated as a social problem. Indicating a relationship of exposure to crime news and the emergence of fear of crime. However, the research on crime news coverage is limited, and questions remain about how the lack of information in the portrayal of crime in newspaper influences fear of crime among the audience. This study examines the presentation of crime news in newspapers regarding the amount of information provided to the reader, and the influence of this coverage on fear of crime among the readers. The sample consist of 900 crime news articles published in two local newspapers in Skåne, Sweden, and were content analyzed based on previous research, and on theoretical perspectives of Locus of control, Assignment of responsibility, and Downward comparison. The results show that both information regarding the context of the crime incident, and information regarding the characteristics of the victim and offender are rarely portrayed in the crime news. The results also imply that the absence of information, provide in the newspapers, may influence fear of crime among the readers. This is suggested to be due to the lack of ability to control crime events, and to evaluate one´s own risk for victimization. Finally, this study suggests educating newspaper journalist in public health method, which might lead to a decreased risk for fear of crime among the audience.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The media have an influential role within society and with media becoming increasingly more accessible over a number of different platforms it is important to comprehend what information is being received by audiences in order to then understand the consequences. Sweden has a reputation of being one of the most reputable countries, however a new, less flattering image has been emerging. There is a growing interest in what is happening in Sweden, especially since US President Donald Trump made his illusive comments in February 2017. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore how news sources in the Western world portray crime in Sweden. Two central questions are examined, (1) what crimes in Sweden are reported in western newspapers, and (2) what are the dominant themes in western newspaper’s discussions of crime in Sweden? Method: Qualitative content analysis was employed to evaluate 249 newspaper articles gathered through NewsBank database. Content of these articles became data which was coded via a data-driven coding frame. Data was partially double coded in an attempt to check consistency. Results: Part one results find that the most popular crime type in Western media crime in Sweden reports are violent crimes. A total of 111 articles in the sample written exclusively about specific events, 76 of which are violent offences. Part two of results explores the broader discourse. Conclusion: The focus on violent crimes is linked to a political discussion surrounding growing support for populist politics. The predominant narratives are, that immigration is to blame for rising crime levels, and Sweden’s identity crisis.

Full textAbstract:
This study does research on the Swedish media's portraying of an extraordinary crime event in Sweden - the grenades in Malmö 2015. The study focuses on how the media portrays three major participants in the media image: the public, the politicians and the police. The question examined was: How does the media portray the public and the authorities during the grenades in Malmö 2015? I made a framing analysis of 30 news articles from the summer of 2015. The result showed that the public received the role as the victim, where the media image emphasizes on fear from the public. The police received two different images - the safe image where the media emphasizes on the work the police does on preventing crime. The other image was the critical image, where the media emphasized on how the public criticized the police success rate during these incidents. The politicians received a neutral image, where a small amount of critic was portrayed. The results of the analysis diverged from previous studies and theories in the field when it came to the police and the politicians.

Full textAbstract:
Although examination of the relationship between the media and crime has received considerable attention in the academic literature, only a few studies have examined news media coverage of environmental crimes. The present study examines print news media coverage of federal penalties assessed against the petroleum refining industry from 1997 to 2003. The Environmental Protection Agency initiated and/or settled 162 cases involving seventy-eight petroleum refining companies from 1997 to 2003. While a news search of the nations twenty-five largest newspapers produced seventy-four articles related to petroleum refining industry violations, only seventeen articles matched the EPA cases analyzed in the present study. The present study found that while there is a considerable amount of federal petroleum refining industry violations, only a few cases receive media attention.

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with the analysis of public opinion about crime and attitudes regarding criminal justice issues along two major dimensions. The first part concerns how respondents rank crime among a list of nine social problems (unemployment, high interest rates, inflation, crime, the high cost of living, moral decline, taxes, dissatisfaction with the government, and Reagan). The second dimension examines some research questions. These are whether there was any association between the respondents' perception of crime trends and each of the following: demographic background, neighborhood safety, the death penalty, gun ownership, frequency of locking doors, avoidance of teenagers, and the evaluation of police job performance; and also whether there was any association between the respondents' victimization experience and seriousness of crime and police job performance. The data were obtained from the archives of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research in Michigan.

As rotinas produtivas de jornalistas de dois diários impressos de Campo Grande (MS) e as notícias de crimes engendradas nessas rotinas correspondem ao centro deste trabalho. As análises das práticas dos jornalistas – manifestadas tanto em suas relações no dia-a-dia da produção de notícias quanto nos próprios textos e imagens – têm como pilar teórico principal os conceitos bourdieusianos de habitus e de campo social. A metodologia é composta de etnografia das rotinas de produção dos jornalistas, de análises de entrevistas e de análises de notícias. Os diálogos entre empírico e teórico permitiram compreender as notícias como representações de mundo dos jornalistas, dos donos das empresas jornalísticas, das fontes e demais agentes partícipes do processo noticioso. Essas representações são construídas a partir de determinadas percepções, produzidas por habitus incorporados por todos esses agentes. Deste emaranhado de relações, são analisadas as práticas, percepções e representações de mundo dos jornalistas. Não
The productive routines of journalists from two printed daily newspapers of Campo Grande (MS) and the news of crimes engendered in those routines correspond to the center of this work. The analyses of the journalists’ practsing – revealed as much in their relations in the everyday life of the news production as in the own texts and images –they have as main theoretical base the “bourdieusianos” concepts of habitus and of social area. The methodology is composed of ethnography of the production routines of the journalists, and analyses of interviews and news. The dialogues between empirical and theoretician allowed to understand the news as representations of world of the journalists, of the owners of the journalistic companies, of the sources and agents of the news process. Those representations are built from certain perceptions, produced by habitus incorporated by all of agents. From this tangled of relations, are analyzed, the practices, perceptions and representations of the world of the journalists. T

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines how the German print news media negotiate notions of Germanness by narrating the acts of violent crime committed by the right-wing extremist group National Socialist Underground (NSU) between 2000 and 2011. Combining Paul Ricœur’s textual hermeneutics with insights from narrative criminology as well as violence and narrative media studies, I approach the NSU as a narrative puzzle. I thereby investigate how the media narrate a murder series of nine men with a migration background, a nail bomb attack in a Turkish-dominated street and an (attempted) murder of two police officers. I compare the narratives constructed both before and after the identification of the perpetrators in November 2011. Through an extensive narrative analysis of news media discourse, I examine how notions of Germanness are negotiated through the construction of relationships between perpetrators, victims, society and the state. The key argument is that the NSU has not affected dominant perceptions of Germanness, but reinforced existing ones through the creation of a hierarchy of “‘Others’ within”: immigrants, East Germans, and (right-wing) extremists. The findings show that the interpretation of acts of violent crime, especially over extended periods of time, is rooted in everyday practices of story-telling and identity construction.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the representation of crime, justice, and punishment in the popular press, with particular focus upon The Illustrated Police News, a weekly newspaper published between 1864 and 1938. The Illustrated Police News, notorious for its sensational reporting of the week’s most exciting and dramatic crimes, has traditionally been dismissed as a marginal publication. The style, content, and popularity of The Illustrated Police News challenges the view that the cultural imagination of Victorian Britain was narrowly defined by the ideal of respectability, or that by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries popular culture had been successfully tamed. The study employs a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the content of The Illustrated Police News, sampling the newspaper at six-year intervals throughout its seventy-four years of publication. This statistical examination of the newspaper’s core components, including its illustrations, sensational reports, police court reporting, and advertisements, reveals a complex story of change, continuity, and the remaking of representations of crime. The Illustrated Police News’s crime content continued to be shaped by the newspaper’s methods of production, availability of news, and the requirements of the physical space of the page. Strikingly, wood-engravings continued to be used after the introduction of photographs in the press, and execution continued to be used as source of entertainment long after the abolition of public execution in 1868. Alongside these continuities in content, style, and audience, there were also important changes. In response to changing working-class leisure practices, The Illustrated Police News increased its sporting and gambling content and altered its layout, whilst during the First World War coverage of the war almost entirely replaced crime reporting. This, along with the noticeable continuities, show that the newspaper was actively engaged with reader demand, driven by the two main concerns of commercial viability and feasibility.

Full textAbstract:
During the past couple of years, shootings in Malmö have been given considerable amount of attention and not the least by the news media. The tabloids have often been dominated by headlines which indicate an increase of violent shootings in Sweden’s third largest city. Comparing shootings in Malmö to other cities in Sweden is a difficult task as the local police collects data based on different criteria, nevertheless comparisons are frequently made. The objective of this project is to examine how newspapers portray shootings in Malmö by analyzing articles from major newspapers in Sweden. This thesis focuses on the language that is used and in the light of moral panics theory it is discusses whether the news articles in question are instigating moral panics. It is evaluated what discourses are produced and reproduced by the language used in the context of shootings in Malmö through critical discourse analysis (CDA). The main findings reveal that news media tend to promote certain ideas about the severity and the circumstances regarding shootings in Malmö that are symbolic for the instigation of moral panics. In the context of shootings in Malmö the most frequent points that are raised is that shootings are “symptomatic”, shootings are becoming normalized and shootings pose a threat to “normal people” as well. The main implications from this project is that future research is needed on the subject of how data regarding shootings is collected by to police in order to conduct research similar to this. There is a need of a uniformity within the police regarding the definition and classification of shootings in order to facilitate research that compares shootings across the nation. As a follow up to the current project it would be beneficial to investigate the social reactions to the style of journalism discussed in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to examine how the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet represented the leading characters in the reporting about the murder of Yara Alnajjar. The questions examined were: How is Yara, the perpetrators and the municipality of Karlskrona represented in Aftonbladet? How is the relationship between the leading characters of the texts constructed? And what is the relationship between the characters and the audience? To approach this we made a discourse analysis of ten texts from Aftonbladet, all related to the tragic series of events that costed Yara Alnajjar her life. The result showed that Yara Alnajjar was represented as a classic victim-hero who’s only job was to be small, innocent, defenseless and to gather sympathy from the audience. And even though she had a different cultural background she became a part of “us”. The female perpetrator was, in contrast to the victim, represented as a mad non-woman. Discredited through her odd behaviour which contained both evil and sad moments. Next to her was the male perpetrator who, despite also being sentenced for the murder, gathered sympathy from the audience. As well as being represented as someone in the deep regret and sadness. The municipality of Karlskrona in return was both given blame for their non-actions and forgiven despite it, since Aftonbladet considered them to have tried to help. We discovered that the media constructions in Aftonbladet were embedded with roles, archetypes and myths. It also showed that not everyone would fit into their roles so easily.

Full textAbstract:
News reports in relation to criminality are often considered a trustworthy and factual source of information. However, media consumers often disregard the discourses within the content they consume as well as the power structures it reproduces. News criminality discourses, in particular, are expressions of power that contextualize and shape identity configurations as well as social relations. It is these discourses that reproduce patterns of inequality in a trickle-down manner. Following a period of mass immigration, the Swedish crime and criminality discourse has blended with the immigration discourse in news articles with ethnonationalist undertones. With the purpose to identify the descriptions of different entities and agents depicted in the crime and criminality discourse and the relationships the press establishes between these groups, this thesis applies elements from Critical Discourse Analysis to analyze 72 newspaper articles (36 from Aftonbladet and 36 from Expressen). This analysis highlights the presence of a spectrum of righteousness by which the press places European identities on the right end of the spectrum opposite to nonwestern immigrant identities. Such discourses elevate European identities and legitimize intolerant attitudes which limit newcomers’ access to resources and opportunities for upward social mobility. Additionally, this analysis relates previous findings to the Swedish context and presents possible implications that the blending of these discourses has had on the integration process and social cohesion overall.

Previous issue date: 2009-10-23The current research intends to reflect in a critical manner about the ways of representation of criminality on audiovisual media, especially on television. The target of this analysis is to point out media processes that highlight and exemplify the way crime is turned into a spectacle, reconfiguring narrative formats of police drama and news currently active. When it comes down to representing images of violence and criminality, the audiovisual media culture has been showing two main slopes: the news that incorporates construction elements typical of soup operas, and the fictional program that intends realism, showing the routine of police in action in big urban areas. Under the eye of speculation promoted by news media, two cases will be analyzed, which took place in 2008: the case of Isabella Nardoni and the young girl Eloá Pimentel, exhaustingly reproduced and detailed on the internet. In the thin line of the crime-spectacle in the universe of fiction, we ll analyze the narrative of TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, highlighting the episodes "Grave Danger" and "Monster in a box". From the methodic point of view, the research bases itself on the audiovisual analysis provided for television and in its versions for Internet and DVD, willing to investigate the connection between the subject in question and the visible object, interpreting the spectator as a morbid voyeur. From the theoretical point of view, the research lays on "real shock" concept by Beatriz Jaguaribe, on the hypothesis of intimacy spectacle by Paula Sibilia, presented on O Show do Eu: a intimidade como espetáculo", and on the "A Sociedade do Espetáculo" by Guy Debord. The arguments concerning the News are anchored by work of Eugênio Bucci and Maria Rita Kehl, "Videologias". The reflexion regarding the spectator with violent images is based on the work by Susan Sontag, "Diante da dor dos outros", and on the works of Arlindo Machado, "A Televisão levada a Sério" and "O Sujeito na Tela". In the end, it is concluded that the persistent shocking images that infest the many diverse ways of informational communication operate through contagious systems, which lead to dramatization elements of the journalism of the real for the fictional and spectacle of crime for the News universe, on television and internet
A presente pesquisa pretende refletir de forma crítica sobre os modos de representação da criminalidade nas mídias audiovisuais, em especial na mídia televisiva. O objetivo da análise é apontar processos midiáticos que evidenciem e exemplifiquem o modo como o crime é transformado em espetáculo, reconfigurando os formatos narrativos de dramas policiais e do telejornalismo vigentes. A cultura das mídias audiovisuais, no que diz respeito à representação das imagens de violência e criminalidade, vem demonstrando duas vertentes predominantes: o telejornalismo que incorpora elementos de construção típicos das telenovelas e a programação ficcional que se pretende realista, retratando o cotidiano da polícia em ação nos grandes centros urbanos. Sob a ótica da espetacularização promovida pela mídia jornalística, serão analisados dois crimes ocorridos no ano de 2008: o caso da menina Isabella Nardoni e o da jovem Eloá Pimentel, fartamente reproduzidos e detalhados na internet. No que tange ao crime-espetáculo no universo da ficção, analisaremos a narrativa seriada televisiva CSI:Crime Scene Investigation, com destaque para os episódios "Grave danger" e "Monster in a box . Do ponto de vista metodológico, a pesquisa baseia-se na análise dos audiovisuais concebidos para televisão e em suas versões para internet e DVD, a fim de investigar a relação entre o sujeito vidente e o objeto visível, entendendo o espectador como voyeur-mórbido. Do ponto de vista teórico, a pesquisa apoia-se no conceito de "choque do real" de Beatriz Jaguaribe, na hipótese de espetacularização da intimidade de Paula Sibilia, apresentada em O show do eu: a intimidade como espetáculo" e na obra "A sociedade do espetáculo" de Guy Debord. As discussões sobre telejornalismo são ancoradas na obra de Eugênio Bucci e Maria Rita Kehl, "Videologias". A reflexão sobre a relação do espectador com as imagens de violência baseia-se na obra de Susan Sontag, "Diante da dor dos outros", e nas obras de Arlindo Machado, "A televisão levada a sério" e "O sujeito na tela". Ao final, conclui-se que as insistentes imagens de choque e violência que assolam os mais diversos meios informacionais de comunicação operam por sistemas de contágio, que levam elementos da dramatização do real do telejornalismo para o universo ficcional e de espetacularização do crime para o universo do telejornal, na televisão e internet

This research analyzed how newspapers Correio da Paraíba and Jornal da Paraíba reported news about young adults who were victims of violent crimes, in Cidades and Últimas sections, throughout a sample of 2014. The objective was to identify the meaning behind the choices made by both media, verifying aspects as the importance given to this kind of article, the published content’s diversity, the sources heard by the reporters, the news character, as well as the perceptions regarding youth, criminality and the individuals judged as deviants. The Content Analysis was the method chosen because it can identify the news tendencies, turning the raw data (like texts and images) into clear and justified statistics. The quantitative aspect also makes it possible to have a qualitative analytical approach, evaluating the details observed through the frequencies. In order to do it all, authors from communication, sociology, anthropology and Content Analysis were essential, such as Cremilda Medina, Mauro Wolf, Mar de Fontcuberta, Émile Durkheim, Howard Becker, Roberto DaMatta, Pierre Bourdieu, Mario Margulis, Marcelo Urresti, Michel Foucault, Laurence Bardin and Heloiza Herscovitz, debating themes as news values, crime, deviation, violence, youth and the methodological viability. Achieving the goals of this research, it was verified that, in general, both media reported news similarly: there is no consensual vision about what being young is like, nor any differential because of how young the victims are; both newspapers focus on answering the journalistic lead paragraph (who did what, when, where, how and why), only describing the occurrences by what they heard from official sources; there is no photographs attached, nor any highlights on the covers of the gazettes; mostly, there isn’t almost any purposed reflections concerning what those reported cases mean beyond what it is stated. Therefore, the media reports follow a standard, as if the journalist only answered to mandatory questions in a form. This is why the victims could be exchanged among the reports without any need to make changes on news’ structures. It’s clear though that both newspapers have potential to get over this kind of bureaucracy related to the way the reports are written and go much further on their narratives, as seen in other news about different subjects. However, it’s believed that this situation is due to the fact that both media don’t think the victimization of young adults is newsworthy enough, but keep posting about them in order to reinforce their panoptic social surveillance.
Esta pesquisa analisou como são construídas as notícias sobre jovens vítimas de crimes violentos, nos cadernos de Cidades e Últimas dos jornais impressos Correio da Paraíba e Jornal da Paraíba, durante uma amostra referente ao ano de 2014. O objetivo foi identificar o sentido provocado pelas escolhas feitas por ambos os periódicos, observando aspectos como a valoração atribuída a esse tipo de matéria, a diversidade de conteúdo publicado, as fontes ouvidas, o caráter do noticiário, bem como as percepções dos media sobre a juventude, a criminalidade e os indivíduos juridicamente desviantes. O método empregado foi a Análise de Conteúdo (AC), por permitir que fosse possível identificar as tendências de apresentação dos acontecimentos, transformando os dados brutos, como textos e imagens, em estatísticas claras e justificadas. O aspecto quantitativo possibilitou ainda uma abordagem de cunho qualitativo, em que se avaliaram os pormenores identificados através dos indicadores numéricos. Nessa trajetória, foram essenciais as contribuições de autores da comunicação, da sociologia, da antropologia e da AC, como Cremilda Medina, Mauro Wolf, Mar de Fontcuberta, Émile Durkheim, Howard Becker, Roberto DaMatta, Pierre Bourdieu, Mario Margulis, Marcelo Urresti, Michel Foucault, Laurence Bardin e Heloiza Herscovitz, discutindo temas como valores-notícia, crime, desvio, violência, juventude, além da viabilidade metodológica. Alcançando-se os objetivos propostos, verificou-se que, em geral, ambos os veículos estudados constroem o noticiário de forma bastante semelhante: sem que haja uma noção consensual sobre o que é ser jovem nem um peso maior por se tratar de vítimas nesse momento etário, priorizam o atendimento do lead jornalístico (quem fez o que, quando, onde, como e por que), limitam-se à descrição das ocorrências a partir de fontes oficiais, não acompanham fotografias, não recebem destaque na capa e, sobretudo, não problematizam o que aqueles casos específicos representam. Assim, a construção midiática segue um padrão, como se o jornalista apenas respondesse a questões exigidas em um formulário, de modo que as vítimas poderiam intercambiar-se nas matérias, sem que fossem necessárias alterações na estrutura noticiosa. Constatou-se, porém, que os veículos têm potencial de ir além da informação burocrática, como se vê em notícias sobre assuntos diversos. Leva-se a crer que essa formularização se deve ao fato de os periódicos não verem o tema com grande valor-notícia, mas continuam a publicá-lo, para reforçar sua vigilância panóptica sobre o seio social.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar notícias de crimes, quando veiculadas concomitante às investigações policiais, logo após o acontecimento de um crime, e que seja de grande repercussão na imprensa. Ao tratarmos de notícias de crimes referimo-nos, respectivamente, às notícias veiculadas online, nos Jornais Folha de São Paulo e O Estado de São Paulo, ao passo que as notícias do crime referem-se à notitia criminis. Dessa forma, o corpus da pesquisa é constituído pelos boletins de ocorrência, assim como pelas peças das denúncias e das sentenças, além das notícias de crimes dos jornais selecionados, a respeito da morte de Isabella Nardoni e Eloá Cristina. A fundamentação teórica tem por base a Retórica e a Argumentação configurando-se na linha central de pesquisa, que serve também para estabelecer parcialmente a metodologia do estudo. Os principais teóricos que fornecem as bases da pesquisa são Aristóteles (384 322 a.C), Barilli (1985), Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005 [1958]), Mosca (2004), Petri (2005), Meyer (2007), Plantin (2012), dentre outros. Além da Retórica e da Argumentação, para situarmos o tema da notícia do crime (notitia criminis), utilizaremos os teóricos Magalhães Gomes Filho (1997), Petri (2005), Tourinho Filho (2008), Capez (2011), principalmente. Quanto ao discurso jornalístico serão tecidas considerações, de acordo com Laje (1986; 2006), Marcondes Filho (1986), Albert & Terrou (1990), Dias (1996), Kucinski (2005) e Albaladejo (2009). Como suporte para tratar das marcas linguísticas expostas na superfície textual, das notícias de crimes, no que se refere ao Discurso Relatado, especialmente, tomaremos por base o estudo de Charaudeau (2008; 2007). Além deste teórico serão tomadas as noções de Grácio (2012) quando for observada a situação argumentativa da peça da sentença. A partir desse referencial teórico, serão analisados os enunciados das manchetes e alguns excertos das notícias, para verificar em quais momentos são feitos os prejulgamentos pelo enunciador-jornalista e quais são as principais características deste discurso. Percebe-se que, ao tratar de notícias de crimes, a imprensa sente-se no direito-dever de investigar, apurar fatos, e que, na maioria das vezes expõe pessoas, sentenciando em caráter definitivo. Assim, como formadora de opinião pública, a imprensa levanta e apresenta provas, investiga suspeitos, transformando-os em acusados, ao enunciar em uma manchete, um acontecimento relacionado a um fato delituoso e principalmente ao afirmar que o suspeito cometeu determinado crime. Todavia, nos casos analisados, observa-se que há uma antecipação em relação a determinados fatos, mesmo que esses não tenham sido registrados discursivamente na peça da denúncia ou da sentença. Deste modo, são determinadas sequências discursivas relatadas pelo jornalismo online que interessam ao presente estudo, com vistas a demonstrar que pode haver um discurso velado, ou até mesmo, um prejulgamento implícito por parte do discurso da mídia. Tais sequências do discurso podem provocar certos efeitos de sentidos e até mesmo influenciar na formação de opinião do auditório universal.The aim of this work is to analyze crimes news, when concomitant disclosed to police investigations, immediately after the occurrence of a crime, and that it will bring about a great repercussion in the press. By dealing with crime news we refer, respectively, to the news disclosed online, in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo and O Estado de São Paulo, while the news of crime refer to the notitia criminis. In this way, the corpus of this research is constituted by the police reports, as well as the accusations and the sentences briefs, in addition to the crime news of the selected newspapers, about the death of Isabella Nardoni and Eloá Cristina. The theoretical background is based on the Rhetoric and Argumentation, which is consisted of the principal research line, which also serves to establish partially the methodology of the study. The main theorists that provide the foundations of research are Aristotle (384 322 a.C), Barilli (1985), Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005 [1958]), Mosca (2004), Petri (2005), Meyer (2007), Plantin (2012), among others. In addition to the Rhetoric and Argumentation, in order to consider the news of crime (notitia criminis), we will use mainly, the theorists Magalhães Gomes Filho (1997), Petri (2005), Tourinho Filho (2008) and Capez (2011). Concerning the journalistic discourse, it will be made considerations, according to Laje (1986; 2006), Marcondes Filho (1986), Albert & Terrou (1990), Dias (1996), Kucinski (2005) and Albaladejo (2009). As support to treat language imprint exposed on the surface of textual crimes news regarding especially to the reported speech, we will be based on the study of Charaudeau (2008; 2007). In addition to this theorist it will be taken notions from Grácio (2012; 2013), when observed the argumentative situation of sentence brief. From this theoretical background, it will be analyzed the headlines statements and a few excerpts from the news, to check in which moments are made the preconceptions by enunciator-journalist and what are the main features of this speech. It is noticed that, when dealing with crime news, the press feels the right-duty to investigate, ascertain facts that, in the majority, exposing people and definitely sentencing. Thus, as public opinion forming, the press raises and presents evidence, investigating suspects, turning them into accused, when enunciating in a headline, an event related to a criminal suit and mainly, by saying that the suspect committed a particular crime. However, in the analyzed cases, it is observed that there is an anticipation regarding to certain facts, even if these have not been discursively registered, in accusation and in the sentence brief. In this way, there are certain discursive sequences that concern to this study, which are reported by the online journalism, in order to demonstrate that there may be a veiled speech, or even an implied \"prejudging\" by the media discourse. Such sequences of discourse can cause certain senses effects and even influence the formation of universal Auditorium opinion.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences and similarities in the crime journalism of the two swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. Both general similarities and differences and those that concern the gender of the victim and perpetrator were investigated. I also looked at which type of actor that was given most room to speak in the articles. The theoretical perspectives and previous research that were used in this study was agenda setting, framing, news evaluation, journalistic rules, studies about gender in news media and studies about crime journalism. The methods that were used was a quantitative content analysis and critical linguistic. The study was conducted on a selection of 200 articles (100 from each newspaper) for the quantitative content analysis and 8 articles for the critical discourse analysis. The study focused on five different types of crime: assault, rape, murder, robbery and attempted murder. The study showed several similarities between the two newspapers One was that murder for example was the by far most covered type of crime in both Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. The main differences concerned what was prioritized in the newspaper's news evaluation. The main differences that were found were between articles about male and female victims and perpetrators. Women were always framed as victims while men almost completely disappeared in the text if the perpetrator was female. Male perpetrators were also framed as ruthless and dangerous to a larger extent than female perpetrators.

Full textAbstract:
À partir d’un corpus de 492 faits divers criminels relevés dans les quotidiens parisiens entre 1836 et 1881, ce travail s’efforce de montrer comment ce genre de discours journalistique est un lieu de citation d’autres discours, en particulier professionnels. La démarche stylistique adoptée, qui s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse du discours, souligne la façon dont ces technolectes circulent dans la rubrique des faits divers, et sont souvent moins des citations explicites que des emprunts à des interdiscours volontiers constitués de clichés et de formules toutes prêtes et toutes faites. C’est ainsi le figement du fait divers qu’on met en avant, figement narratif, syntaxique et lexical ; ce figement lui vient parfois directement des discours auxquels il emprunte, et qui comme lui n’hésitent pas à fictionnaliser voire à inventer un événement. La démonstration s’attache à étudier la citation à l’intérieur de l’espace journalistique, afin de mettre en lumière la façon dont les faits-divers s’approprient l’article d’un autre, et à étudier leur position de sur- ou de sous-énonciateur par rapport au texte originel. C’est cette même position du fait-diversi qui est interrogée dans son rapport aux interdiscours médicaux et policiers ; ces derniers sont en effet des sources privilégiées de l’information fait-divers. L’analyse se reporte dans le même temps aux romans du siècle,feuilletons comme œuvres réalistes et naturalistes, avant de se pencher, à la fin de l’étude, sur les rapports du fait divers et de ces ouvrages. Il s’agit alors de montrer comment le fait divers,traversé de diverses voix, est un discours qui circule également dans la littérature de l’époqueThis work focuses on a corpus of 492 crime news items released in Parisian dailies between 1836 and 1881 and aims at showing how this specific journalistic discourse quotesother forms of discourse (particularly professional ones). The stylistic approach chosen, using discourse analysis tools, underlines the way those technolects circulate in crime news items and shows they are not so much explicit quotes as borrowings from interdiscourses often made up of clichés and ready-made, set phrases. This freezing of the crime news item is what stands out here: a narrative, syntactic and lexical freezing, stemming sometimes straight from the discourses from which it borrows. Both the crime news items and the discourses borrowedtend to fictionalize or even invent a drama.The work focuses on the quote within the journalistic space, so as to highlight how the crime news item writers make someone else’s article their own and studies the writers’ posture (as an over or an under-enunciator) regarding the original text. This same posture is also questioned in relation to both medical and police interdiscourses, which are the two privileged sources of information for crime news items. In the same time, the analysis refers to contemporary novels, whether serials or realist and naturalist works, before focusing on their relationships to crime news items. The aim is thus to show how the crime news item is a multiple-voice discourse which also circulates in the literature of that time

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrunden till den här uppsatsen finns att hitta i min något idealistiska bild av nyhetspressens eviga sökande efter och uppdagande av sanningen. Den bilden, i kombination med den senaste tidens skriverier om bland annat Hagamannen och dennes offer, fick mig att fundera kring nyhetspressens eventuella konstruerande eller reproducerande av våldsbrottsofferdiskursen.
Jag använde mig av Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys då jag analyserade 36 nyhetsartiklar och nyhetsnotiser från Aftonbladet, Expressen, Svenska dagbladet och Dagens Nyheter, vilka alla hade publicerats under 2005/2006. Fokuseringen i undersökningen låg på den lingvistiska nivån i texten, det vill säga på ord, styckekombinationer och meningsuppbyggnader men även på de diskursiva praktikerna som fanns att finna i texterna.
Det huvudsakliga som kom fram i undersökningen var att det inte finns en våldsbrottsofferdiskurs värd att tala om i svensk nyhetspress, den är alltid underordnad könsdiskursen och åldersdiskursen. Det finns inga våldsbrottsoffer i svensk nyhetspress, bara män och kvinnor i olika åldrar som blir utsatta för brott

Full textAbstract:
In October 2017, the actor Alyssa Milano announced a wish that all women who, in some way, have been sexually abused would answer their tweets with the words "me too". Almost a day later, #metoo breaks into Swedish social media. There are testimonies of countless of sexual harassments and abuse both from known, unknown and anonymous women who testify to the breadth of the major problem that came to be resembled as a revolution within the next few days. During the news reporting in connection with the campaign we discovered how the Swedish media generally showed differences in how suspected offenders were portrayed in the media. Using formulated analysis tools dramaturgical narrative techniques and criteria for newsworthiness from theories of media logic and theories of news value, we aim to investigate how one of the largest newspapers in Sweden, Expressen, choose to figure suspected perpetrators into sexual offenses in the context of the #metoo campaign. Our main research question is; “How do suspected offenders appear in Expressen's reporting of #metoo in relation to certain dramaturgic narrative techniques?” and “How are some suspects perpetrated in Expressen's reporting of #metoo in relation to certain news value criteria?” With a qualitative content analysis we examined a total of 20 articles and identified results that indicate that the suspected perpetrators according to our interpretation are expressed in the Expressens news reporting in such a way that they are to be perceived as guilty to the crime they're accused for. By identifying our chosen news value criteria in the empirical material which our study is based on, our interpretation is that there's a high news value of reporting suspected offenders in context of the #metoo campaign. The result of our study aims at contributing knowledge about how suspicious perpetrators are portrayed in cases of crime in the media. During our literature review, we found that the research previously conducted on media and crime is primarily about how the victim is portrayed in the media. With our study we want to contribute to the knowledge of how suspected perpetrators are portrayed, which can raise the awareness of how the media through different dramatic storytelling techniques and news evaluation criteria can shape news in different ways.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with the changing world of the crime news in Milan. The aim of the study is to show how, in the last years, the framing processes have been the most important factors to explain the local crime news selection inside the journalistic field.
The empirical analysis is based on an ethnographic research carried on in 2011, based on two main qualitative methods: participant observation in the local editorial office of the most important newspaper of Milan - «Corriere della Sera» -, following the crime reporters during the interaction with the sources too; interviews with journalists, news editors and police officers involved in the daily construction of the local crime news.
Starting from a theoretical background that shows how the Italian media system has been changing since the 80s - moving from a deep reliance on the political system to an autonomous role in setting public issues -, I argue for a new centrality of the media system. In order to explain the peculiarity of this change, I analyze the enlargement of the journalistic field and the "professionalization" of the sources in the way they negotiate with the journalists.
After a focus on the journalists' selection practices and salience attribution during the relationship with the sources and in the editorial office, the analysis deals with the change of the most important source of the crime news, the Police. Since the last years, with the creation of the Press Office, a centralization of the communication to the media occured. This event expresses the intention of this institution to spread an official version of the crime facts and to make more and more difficult the relationship between the journalists and the police officers inside the Police headquarters.
This centralization of the communication and the closure to the reporters' incursions, combined with other factors, diverts the press onto other actors, like the politicians and the citizens. This transformation changes the way the crime news are selected and highlights the importance of framing processes: the more a fact can fit in a frame shared or "sponsored" by politicians, public and journalists, the more probable that fact becomes news. So now politicians and citizens try to use this process in their favour, getting a media focus on their own issues, and asking for a solution. Because of the new centrality of the media system, politics and public can orient the interpretation of a issue, provided that they are able to use the language, criteria and formats of the media system.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to examine how Abbas Rezai, the first male victim of honor- related violence that received media attention in Sweden, was portrayed in swedish news journalism. The questions examined were: How was Abbas Rezai and the perpetrators portrayed in swedish news journalism and how did the portrayal of the characters change over time. We made a critical discourse analysis with Faircloughs model as a base. We examined fourteen articles from a morning paper and a tabloid, during a period of six years. The result showed that Abbas Rezai was portrayed as a honest, considerate and innocent victim, which makes him relatable to the western world. But regardless of the good portrayal noted, however, that he is all this despite the fact that he is an "Afghan asylum seeker". Which makes the news reporting ambiguous, and leaves Abbas Rezai on the borderline between “us” and “them”. When it comes to the perpetrators they are portrayed as heartless, brutal and uneducated. Which by the reporting manifests itself in their cultural and religious background. During the six-years-period that we studied, we noticed that the reporting of one of the perpetrators changed remarkably. He goes from a coldblooded murderer to a victim of his own culture. Which has its explanation in the constant flow of new information. The biggest difference we found between the morning paper and the tabloid was how they selected their sources. The morning paper focused on confirmed fact from the police and the court, meanwhile the tabloid more often choose unconfirmed sources. Our study overall shows that news reporting are producing and re-creating stereotypes and preconceptions.

Full textAbstract:
2007, Swedish television, “Uppdrag granskning,” aired their story about “Louise” from Vetlanda. A drug dependent father had gotten custody of his daughter and sexually abused her from the age of 10 to 15. The local social services got several notifications about Louise suffering of negligence, and did investigate the family several times without taking any actions to protect her. At one time, father and daughter were living in his trailer placed in a gravel pit, and the police worried about her and called social services, because it was below cero degrees outside. That time the social services did not even start another investigation, and did not visit Louise in the trailer. How could that be possible? Why did not the social workers take any actions? Upon that, reportage followed a debate program in Swedish television, huge media hype in general and a street manifestation in Vetlanda. The purpose of the manifestation was to force the chiefs of the social services in Vetlanda to leave their positions. (In addition, they did) Between 2007-2009 Swedish television aired three programs about Louise (one to tell Louise’s story, one to debate how it could happened, and finally one last episode about her life today.) TV channel 8, aired one program “Adaktusson”, in witch the grandparents of Louise was welcome to tell their version of the story. They claimed that she had been living with them most of the time and that things were not as bad as they seemed in the Swedish television reportage.The aim of this report is to examine how narratives was constructed in institution’s and Media’s documentation about the child Louise, to find out how a Grand narrative can be built, and see if it is possible to get a kind of understanding for the actors by analyzing the process of storytelling.

Full textAbstract:
Medias roll i samhället är stor och den spelar en viktig roll i hur samhället ska kunna få ny information om vad som sker runt om i världen. Kvällstidningar rapporterar dagligen om politiska, kulturella och även brottsliga händelser som sker och nyheterna når tusentals människor som får ta del av det. Detta gör att media har ett stort ansvar på sina axlar med att utge opartiska, neutrala och informativa artiklar om det som ämnas att läsas. I denna studie undersöktes hur media framställer olika offer, baserat på den utsattes livssituation, plats för brottet samt vilket sorts brott de utsatts för. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av en tematisk analys, där tre kända fall i Sverige valdes ut för att sedan jämföra och analysera hur media framställer de brottsutsatta. Resultaten påvisar att media har en tendens att framställa brottsutsatta på olika sätt baserat på bland annat deras livssituation och deras bakgrund. Vidare visade det även att medias rapportering av brottsoffer kan vara mer omfattande beroende på hur väl en brottshändelse kan få andra människor att identifiera sig med den brottsutsatta och deras familj.Media plays a big role in society and is partially responsible for how people in the society receives information about what is happening around the world. Newspapers are daily reporting about political, cultural and even criminal, events that occur, and the news is reached by thousands of people to read. This means that media has a lot of responsibility on their shoulders by giving out impartial, neutral and informative articles for people to read. In this study, we sought to investigate how media presents different types of victims, based on their life situation, the scene of the crime and also what type of crime they were victims of. The study was performed with a thematic analysis, where three known cases in Sweden was chosen, these were then compared and analysed in how they were presented in the media. The results of the study show that media have a tendency to present victims of crime different, depending on their life situation and their background. Furthermore, it showed that media's coverage on victims of crime can be more extensive, depending on how well a crime can make other people identify with the victim and its family.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien var att studera hur nyhetsrapporterande media framställer och konstruerar offer- och gärningsmannaskap i fallet Lisa Holm. Det insamlade materialet utgjordes av artiklar tillhörande två av Sveriges ledande nyhetsmedier. En kritisk diskursanalys användes genom Faircloughs tredimensionella modell för att analysera texten, den diskursiva praktiken samt den sociala praktiken. Resultatet analyserades sedan med hjälp av Christies teori om det ideala offret. Resultatet och de slutsatser som drogs visade starka indikatorer på att Lisa Holm kan erkännas en legitim offerroll och är att anse som ett idealt offer, samt att Nerijus Bilevicius till viss del innehar, enligt teorins ramverk, ett idealt gärningsmannaskap. Familj och anhöriga bar dessutom inverkan på förstärkningen av de konstruerade rollerna, främst avseende Lisa Holms offerskap. Resultatet stämmer väl överens med tidigare forskning avseende att artiklarna reproducerar diskurser om offerskap, stereotypa gärningsmän samt om gärningsmän med annan etnisk härkomst.The aim and purpose of this study was to investigate how the newspapers portrays and constructs the victims and offenders in the case of Lisa Holm. The collected material came from articles gathered from two of Sweden’s leading newspapers. A critical discourse analysis was used through Faircloughs three-dimensional model to analyse text, discourse practice and social practice. Then the results were analysed with help of Christies theory of the ideal victim. The results and conclusions drawn showed strong indicators that Lisa Holm can be recognized as an ideal victim and that Nerijus Bilevicius to a certain degree possesses, according to the theory's framework, an ideal offender.The family and relatives, in addition, have influence over the strengtheningof the constructed roles, most importantly regarding Lisa Holm’s role as a ideal victim. The results are in line with previous research, which shows that the articles reproduce discourses about victimhood, stereotypical offenders and offenders with different ethnic backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
Brott är generellt sett ett område som motsvarar många kriterier för nyhetsvärdering inom journalistiken och ämnet lockar till läsning. När media rapporterar om olika händelser i världen får därför framförallt våldsbrott mycket publicitet. Det finns tidigare forskning som visar att medias frekventa rapportering om brott skapar en obefogad rädsla hos befolkningen. Mycket forskning kring brott i media finns både nationellt och internationellt, men denna studie fokuserar på en viss typ av brottslighets plats i media som inte alls är lika utforskat, nämligen organiserad brottslighet. Vi tittar på hur den organiserade brottsligheten gestaltas i svensk nyhetsmedia, vilka skillnader det finns i rapporteringen av denna typ av brott i jämförelse med annan kriminalitet, samt om rapporteringen i morgonpress och kvällspress skiljer sig från varandra. Undersökningen gjordes genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys på 200 artiklar. Hälften av dessa var publicerade i Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet som representerar morgonpress medan den andra hälften hämtats från Aftonbladet och Expressen som i undersökningen representerar kvällspress. Artiklarna är också uppdelade där 100 stycken behandlar organiserad brottslighet och de resterande 100 annan typ av kriminalitet. Undersökningen visade att rapporteringen om de olika typerna av brott skiljer sig. Organiserad brottslighet får mer fysisk plats i tidningarna då de i fler fall finns med bilder. Denna typ av kriminalitet framställs som ett större hot/risk än annan brottslighet, händelser gestaltas mer förstorat, och bilderna i dessa artiklar förstärker ofta en hotfull känsla. Organiserad brottslighet gestaltas som farligare än annan brottslighet. Vi såg utöver detta också skillnader i de olika typerna av press. Kvällspress skriver på ett mer förstorat sätt om organiserad brottslighet än vad morgonpress gör, vilket i denna studie innebär att de använder fler ord som endast finns där i syfte att förstärka olika känslor. Kvällspress använder sig också mer av bilder för att befästa de känslorna artikeln ska förmedla. Med stöd av dagordningsteorin, nyhetsvärdering och nyhetsurval, gestaltningsteorin samt kriminaljournalistik har vi utefter våra resultat analyserat och diskuterat vår forskningsfråga. Vi förstår varför organiserad brottslighet får mycket plats då den uppfyller kriterier för att skapa mediedramaturgi, men anser att det kan vara problematiskt då media med hjälp av sin gestaltning kan skapa en obefogad oro och rädsla bland publiken. Detta påverkar inte bara individen utan även samhället i stort eftersom människors bild av den kriminella världen kanske inte stämmer överens med verkligheten. Eftersom detta kan ge effekt på hela samhället anser vi att studien är relevant för makthavare i landet och Polismyndigheten. Under denna studie har det framgått att forskning om organiserad brottslighet är begränsad. Det finns dåligt med statistik och fakta om denna typ av brott och vi ser gärna att man i framtiden forskar vidare i fältet. Som påbyggnad av detta finns det inte heller mycket forskning att hitta om organiserad brottslighet i förhållande till media. Detta saknas framförallt i svensk forskning och vi skulle gärna se framtida svenska forskare fördjupa sig mer i detta område, till exempel genom en liknande studie, med ett större empiriskt material, för att få en ännu bättre bild av gestaltningen av organiserad brottslighet i media.Crime is an area that meets the requirements for being highly valued as a news topic and is often something that attracts the readers. When media is reporting about what’s going on in the world is especially violent crimes getting much publicity. Previous research shows that medias frequent way to report about crimes creates an uncalled-for fear among the population. There is a lot of national and international research about crime in media, but this study will focus on a special type of crime and the place it has in media, namely organized crime. We look at how organized crime is portrayed in Swedish news media, which differences it is compared to other crimes, and also if morning press and tabloid press reports in different ways and in that case how. The study was done by a quantitative content analysis on 200 articles. Half of these were published in Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet which is morning press while the other half is from Aftonbladet and Expressen which represents the tabloid press. The articles is also divided in to 100 articles about organized crimes and the remaining 100 about other crimes. The study shows that the reporting about the two types of crimes has differences. Organized crime gets more physical space in the papers due to the fact that these crimes more often has pictures in the articles. This type of crime is portrayed like a bigger threat and risk compared to other crimes, it is often written in a magnified way and the pictures is used to increase the sense of threat/risk. Organized crime is portrayed as much more dangerous than other crimes. We also saw differences in the two types of newspaper. Tabloid press is writing in a more magnified way than morning press, which in this study means that they more often use words that is only there in the purpose of increasing the sense of threat. Tabloid press is also using more pictures to fortify the feeling that the article is supposed to mediate. With the support of the agenda setting theory, valuation and selection of news, framing theory and court journalism did we along our results analyze and discuss the research question. We understand why organized crime is getting as much publicity as it does, due to the fact that it fulfills the criterias to create media dramaturgi, but we also see it as a problem as media with its portraying can create an uncalled-for fear and concern among the crowd. It does not just affect the person but also the society since the image of the criminal world that people has disagree with the reality. Since this can affect the entire society we mean that this study is relevant for rulers of the country and the police. During the study has it been stated that research about organized crime is limited. There is not much statistics and facts about this type of crime, so we would like to see more research in this field overall. Build up on this there is not much research to find about organized crime in relation to media either. Above all it is the swedish research that’s lacking in this field and we would like to see future swedish researchers immerse themselves into this field. For example, through a study like this, but with a bigger empirical data, to get a better understanding of the relationship between organized crime and media.
