Abstract:

The vast majority of crime reporting occurs on local television news and in newspapers. Although crimes are extraordinary events, they assume an ordinariness that only daily reporting can give them. The obvious question is what does the news tell us about crime. This article compares the coverage of adult crime and the coverage of what the author has termed “KidsCrime,” defined as a story in which a juvenile was either the suspect or the victim (or both). What is the nature of that coverage? How consistent is it with official statistics? Are there differences between adult crime and KidsCrime coverage regarding offenses, victimization, production techniques, and other attributes? This examination of the crime coverage revealed (a) significant differences between KidsCrime and adult crime coverage, (b) a portrait of crime that was consistent and inconsistent with official statistics, and (c) a presentation approach that discouraged critical viewing.

Abstract:

The problem in research, namely how is the choice of words in mass media framing of crime news? What are the techniques and models of mass media framing of crime news? What is the response of the community to the use of non-criminal news language and its influence on society? This study aims to describe and inventory the concept of the crime language news framing in the mass media. The concept of framing described is related to the choice of words in mass media framing, techniques and models of mass media framing of crime news and public response to the use of non-criminal news language and its influence on society. The method used in this study consists of three stages, namely the stage of data collection, the stage of data classification, and the stage of data analysis. Data obtained from print media mass media. Technically, this research was conducted using the method of listening and proficient methods in providing data. The proficient method can be compared with the interview method. In data analysis, editing, coding, and matching methods are used. Based on data analysis, the choice of words in the language of news framing of crimes is generally in favor of the victim. News writers choose words that can accompany the reader's mind to sympathize with the victim. In addition, the focus of the news is framing with cognitive, empathy, and packing techniques. The framing model in crime news language has four structural dimensions of news text as a framing device, namely syntax, script, thematic, and rhetorical. Keyword: framing, language, crime news, and mass media

Abstract:

Background: Knife crime has become a common phrase used by the media, but it is not always clear what it refers to or what they mean when they use the term. Knife crime can cover many offences, making it challenging to define and estimate its prevalence. Methods Six UK online news portals were purposefully chosen to be included in the study, and knife crime news was searched retrospectively. Because English is the country's official language, only English online news portals were chosen. The term "knife crime" was used to search. The news portals were the: Metro, the Sun, the Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror and the Evening Standard. Retrospectively, news portals were initially searched with the search term Results In the assigned news portals, 692 reports were found between January 2011 and December 2021. The study revealed that the 11-20 years of age group individuals are more vulnerable as victims, and males are more reported as victims when compared to females. About 61.8% of knife crimes are reported from South England. Conclusion Knife crime risk is higher in early adulthood and among males. Street violence, fights/gang attacks, family issues and robbery are the leading causes of knife crime and have all been identified as risk factors that must be addressed with caution.

Abstract:

This study examines the role that the news media play in casting certain urban neighborhoods as particularly violent areas. It is possible that the news media serve as a key source of information about urban neighborhoods to the general public, just as the media are the main source of crime information to those who do not directly experience crime. Based on a thematic content analysis of newspaper reports of violent crime in four American cities, this study explores the language used by journalists to describe urban neighborhoods and the crimes that occur within them in reports of violent crime. Findings suggest that newspaper articles reporting crime in disadvantaged Black neighborhoods are likely to use intense language to describe the normalcy of crime and the terrible nature of crime in these areas. Reports of crime originating in affluent White neighborhoods are likely to highlight the unusual, shocking nature of the violence. Implications for perceptual and policy reactions to crime in urban neighborhoods are discussed.

Abstract:

In developing countries like India, crime plays a detrimental role in economic growth and prosperity. With the increase in delinquencies, law enforcement needs to deploy limited resources optimally to protect citizens. Data mining and predictive analytics provide the best options for the same. This paper examines the news feed data collected from various sources regarding crime in India and Bangalore city. The crimes are then classified on the geographic density and the crime patterns such as time of day to identify and visualize the distribution of national and regional crime such as theft, murder, alcoholism, assault, etc. In total, 68 types of crime-related dictionary keywords are classified into six classes based on the news feed data collected for one year. Kernel density estimation method is used to identify the hotspots of crime. With the help of the ARIMA model, time series prediction is performed on the data. The diversity of crime patterns is visualized in a customizable way with the help of a data mining platform.

Abstract:

AbstractAuthoritarian responses to rising violent crime rates have become a serious problem in Central America. Inspired by theories of agenda setting and media framing, this article examines the influence of news media coverage of crime on attitudes toward crime control. Using an original survey experiment, it tests the relationship between crime news, fear of crime, trust in government institutions, and support for authoritarian crime control measures in Guatemala. It finds that crime news influences support for authoritarian crime control via its effect on lowering citizen trust in government institutions. Exposure to crime news also affects self-reported victimization rates and levels of support for a presidential candidate promoting iron fist policies. These findings not only give insight into the relationship between crime news and political attitudes but also have implications for the rule of law and the politics of crime in new or fragile democracies.

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of a research project on the new modes of production of television crime news. The enquiry involved monitoring television newscasts of the five major channels in Buenos Aires City and interviews with news workers. We analyze the news content, the ways of narrating and enunciating crime news on television, the role played by the police in the structure of the news, the emergence of new sources of information and the production routines of crime news. Our findings suggest that most of the newscasts on television give prominence to crime news within their agendas and that its production and presentation has changed as the result of the spread of digital technologies as sources of information.

Abstract:

News reports of major crime can be linked to popular fiction genres. This linkage extends to the role of the crime witness and to the reporter as witness of crime and its aftermaths. It is argued that audience identification with witnesses and witnessing creates a ‘breathing space’ for reconsideration and reassessment of the crime. To illustrate how this might work in the reporting of horror and atrocity crimes, some newspaper ‘horror’ stories, and their relationship with horror fiction conventions, are discussed along with the television ‘eyewitness' reporting of international atrocity stories.

Abstract:

Crime news broadcasts on television are a part of press freedom to disseminate information to the public through printed or electronic media. Information delivery through electronic media such as television, particularly crime news, presents overviews of criminal events as if the audiences witness it straight from the crime scene. It shows the fact that. one on hand, crime news is broadcast widely on private television stations, while on the other hand there are rules for broadcasting crime news as regulated in Law Number 40 of 1999 on Press and Law Number 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting. Laws on press and broadcasting also regulate the establishment of Press Council that determines ‘journalist code of ethics’ and the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) which sets the ‘broadcast program standards and broadcasting behavior guidelines’. These institutions supervise news or broadcasting as well as individuals or broadcasters that violate broadcasting rules or code of ethics. Crime news broadcasting that displays the face and identity of suspects or defendants is a violation to the principle of ‘Presumption of innocence’, that an individual should be assumed or considered innocent until the court proves that he/she is guilty. Crime news broadcasts impose effects on the suspects or defendants in receiving ‘due process of law’, and on the public prosecutor and judge investigating the case. Therefore, crime news broadcasting should be sought to not violate the code of ethics or rules as well as the rights of suspects or defendants.

Abstract. The present research aims to verify the presence of linguistic biases in crime news reports (Study 1) and their role (Study 2) in activating a crime stereotype toward racial/ethnic minorities. In a first content analysis study, the natural occurrence of a set of linguistic biases was analyzed in Italian news articles that described comparable crimes committed by an in- or an outgroup aggressor. Results indicated that when the crime was committed by an outgroup (vs. ingroup) member, more aggravating and less attenuating adjectives were used. Moreover, the nationality of the perpetrator was not only mentioned more frequently, it also appeared in most cases as a noun. In Study 2, participants read a fictitious news article that either described an in- or outgroup criminal act with neutral or biased language. Their implicit associations between in- and outgroup members and weapons (vs. tools) were measured immediately afterward in the weapon paradigm. Results confirmed that a biased (vs. neutral) language use increased participants’ crime-related associations with the outgroup in general only when an outgroup criminal was staged. The role of media portrayals in determining the cognitive representations of racial/ethnic minorities is discussed.

Abstract:

In today’s world, security is the most prominent aspect which has been given higher priority. Despite the rapid growth and usage of digital devices, lucrative measurement of crimes in under-developing countries is still challenging. In this work, unstructural crime data (900 records) from the news archives of the previous eight years were extracted to predict the behavior of criminals’ networks and transform it into useful information using natural language processing (NLP). To estimate the next move of criminals in Pakistan, we performed hotspot-based spatial analysis. Later, this information is fed to two different classifiers for possible identification and prediction. We achieved the maximum accuracy of 92% using K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and 62% using the Random Forest algorithm. In terms of crimes, the results showed that the most prevalent crime events are robberies. Thus, the usage of digital information archives, spatial analysis, and machine learning techniques can open new ways of handling a peaceful and sustainable society in eradicating crimes for countries having paucity of financial resources.

Abstract:

A 2006 US copycat crime wave came into being, surged with thousands of crimes committed, and dissipated without substantial news media attention. The development of this early copycat crime meme is traceable to the nature of the crime, “ghost riding the whip,” and the social media and popular music communication channels associated with it. Ghost riding the whip involved traffic violations where drivers exit their cars and dance atop or alongside the moving driverless vehicles. Social media allowed the widespread diffusion of detailed instructions that spread this crime from a single minority community to the middle class within a 3-month period. The study of this copycat crime meme examined four types of data: Google Trends, rap songs, ProQuest news media data, and YouTube videos. The examination of the crime wave suggests how Gabriel Tarde’s 19th-century ideas operate in the contemporary social media era. However, unlike pre-social media-based crime waves that were launched via interpersonal and legacy media communication pathways, for ghost riding, rap songs, YouTube postings, and Google searches spurred its growth. Legacy media were found to be most important during the crime wave’s decline, but not during its diffusion. For this copycat crime meme, social media’s influence flowed in a unique upward and outward pattern and the results raise the research questions as to how social media have changed the dynamics of crime waves and how important legacy media will be in future crime waves.

Abstract:

Crime waves make great headlines, and can be an ongoing source of stories for news media. In this article, we track the news media promotion of the spectre of a crime wave at Queensland's Gold Coast and the interplay between politics and policy responses to the media campaign. By analysing news media reports, government, local government and police-documented responses, we explore how the media framed this crime wave and the politically driven policy responses that were disproportionate to the reported (statistical) level of crime. Despite attempts by the Queensland Police Service to defuse the claims of an out-of-control crime problem, followed by its attempts at managing community responses, the local news media continued their campaign with significant consequences. Our findings are important for those charged with publicly managing responses to media-driven crime waves.

Abstract:

Crime reporting occupies a central position in the print and broadcast media agenda. The key thing about media reporting on crime is the question of the impact that the dominant media discourse on crime has on the public perception of this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to make an insight at how crime is presented in the media, to identify the criteria that guide the selection of crime news, and finally, the impact that media presentation of crime has on the audience. Researches on media reporting on crime suggest that the over-representation of violent crime affects the media's construction of crime, by presenting this phenomenon as dominantly violent.

Abstract:

Abstract Publics hold chief executives uniquely responsible for national well-being, and they learn about national conditions through news. But when news disproportionately covers problems, what happens to democratic accountability? Here, we experimentally test how leader approval changes when crime loses prominence in news for a sustained period. We create an online news environment coding real news in real time, then experimentally filter news for nationally diverse U.S. panelists over 1 week. We find causal evidence that reducing crime news raises presidential approval and depresses problem importance evaluations for crime. No other leaders are credited, and reducing all problems produces no further gains. These effects persist well after exposure but dissipate within a week. We conclude with broad implications for journalism and democratic judgment.

In particular, it examines a supposed “crime wave” in 1991 and early 1992 and the presumed involvement in it of Aboriginal youth. While it finds some evidence for a mismatch between the news coverage of youth-crime and actual crime data, the report also argues that a complex set of relations between news sources, news participants and the press itself is responsible for this effect. It also finds equally complex issues surrounding (a) reportage on Aboriginal youth and (b) participation by Aboriginal individuals and groups in the production of news.

Abstract:

Policing has become a topic of intense public scrutiny and protest in the aftermath of several recent highly questionable and violent police–citizen encounters including the acts of police violence against George Floyd in Minneapolis (MN), Breonna Taylor in Louisville (KY), and Jacob Blake in Kenosha (WI). These encounters have led to large-scale street protests, the legitimization of the Black Lives Matter movement, and what many commentators perceive as a “national reckoning” on the issue of racial justice. The focus of our research is on police crime—a particular form of police misconduct that involves the criminal arrest of police officers. Our work is designed to identify cases in which law enforcement officers have been arrested for any type of criminal offense(s). One area of police scholarship that has thus far been neglected is the relationship between citizen race and the perpetration of police crime. We are aware of no existing empirical studies on whether, and if so, to what degree, citizen race is associated with crimes committed by police officers. The public has been forced to re-examine and question the role and legitimacy of police against the backdrop of protests and concerns about how police may contribute to racial injustice and discrimination. The broadest research issue involved an examination of the association between police crime and the race of the victim. Our goal was to identify and examine any racial disparities of police crime overall and within specific types of police crime. The analyses compared police crimes committed against Black victims to all other police crimes identified within the dataset. More specifically, we examined the degree to which police crimes perpetrated against Black victims tend to be more violent than those perpetrated against non-Black victims. CHAID regression models were utilized to explore any multivariate relationships between race and police crime. Data were derived from published news articles using the Google News search engine and its Google Alerts email update service. Our database currently includes information on more than 18,700 cases of police crime from years 2005–2021. The study utilized data derived from this larger project. The study examined those cases of police crime in which we have identified a victim and recorded information on the race of the victim. The dataset for this study includes information on 865 criminal arrest cases of sworn nonfederal law enforcement officers within the United States from 2005 through 2014.

Abstract:

This commentary attempts to work through the news media's ethical dilemma of covering sex crimes so that victims' rights advocates and media personnel can find common ground. Traditional approaches to sex crimes—using craft-based, professionally oriented definitions of news—should be replaced with ethically principled orientations toward news once concerns over “rights” are augmented with concerns over “duties.”

Abstract:

This study examines the linguistic structure used for uncovering gender ideologies through crime news headlines. It’s based on the idea that languages represent reality and different linguistic choices indicate different points of view of reality. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) (Fairclough 1990,VanDijk 1995, Simpson 1993) is used in this study. The main objectives of the study are 1) to study the differences of representation between male and female social actors (Van Leeuwan 2008) in crime news headlines and 2) to study power relations, gender identities and the reproduction of patriarchal society through crime news headlines. Samples of 1,815 crime news headlines are analyzed in this study. The result shows that Thai crime news constructs gender identities based on gender ideology. Thai crime news headlines convey a variety of linguistic meanings which allow for varying forms of representation of social actors, including exclusion and inclusion of social actors. The exclusion of male social actors in headlines may be ideologically motivated by obscuring the responsibility of male actors for negative actions, whereas the exclusion of female social actors does not have the same effect because their referents can be inferred from the headline context. In addition, the inclusion of social actors varies according to the social actor’s sex. Male actors are usually referred to using a functionalization form or an appraisement form, whereas female actors are usually referred to using an identification form. These representations reflect the role of masculinity and femininity among men and women in the society.

Abstract:

Crime news is considered as the most salient news among Malaysian. For the past 10 years, the relationship between the increasing number of foreign nationals in Malaysia and the increasing crime rate/crime reporting become and issue discussed from the grass root to the members of the Malaysian parliament. This article analyses recent news discourses surrounding foreign nationals in Malaysian crime reporting. Four English language daily newspapers are investigated over the year of 2016 which are The Star, The New Straits Times, The Sun, and The Malay Mail. The paper argues that foreign nationals is the ‘ideal’ other which cause them to be associated to various negativity. Constructing foreign nationals as problematic, deviant, and as ‘the devil’ can be discussed as an act to fit with the hegemonic idea that foreign nationals as a major threat to the public socially, economically, and environmentally. The paper also explores the various issues/stories highlighted in the local crime news involving foreign nationals that draw new landscapes of Malaysian social pattern.

Abstract:

The study on which this article was based was part of an international news study,conducted in 10 countries (Australia, China, Chile, Germany, India, Israel, Jordan, Russia,South Africa and the USA). In this article, the way in which crime as a topic is dealt within selected news media is explored. Focus group results were also analysed to establishhow people perceive crime reporting. Shoemaker’s theory on news values is applied toanalyse media content and results from focus groups. From the analysis, it emergedthat the media perform a surveillance function on behalf of their audiences and thatthe news media apply regular news values to decide on the reporting and presentationof news items dealing with crime events. Media audiences make practical use ofinformation provided by the media on crime events to take precautions or to becomeaware of dangerous situations and people. Shoemaker’s theory also provides a valuableframework according to which news content can be analysed and understood.The data used in this study was collected as part of the What’s News? Project, based atthe S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NewYork, USA, and is part of a larger study of the definition of news in ten countries. Theprincipal investigators are Dr Pamela J. Shoemaker (Syracuse University) and Dr AkibaCohen (Tel Aviv University, Israel). Additional researchers participated in the study fromthe following countries: Australia, China, Chile, India, Israel, Germany, Jordan, Russia,South Africa and the United States.

Abstract:

Social behavior can be troubled by the constant concern of crime. Research on the relationship between traditional media crime exposure, social media crime videos, and fear about the crime is scarce. The present study is designed to investigate whether social media exposure, TV news crime viewing, crime drama exposure is directly or indirectly associated to fear about crime. The theoretical framework of the study is based on the mediated fear model and cultivation theory. A sample of 371 university students was selected through a convenience sampling technique. SPSS 25 was used to analyze the data and Model 4 of Process Macro was used to examine the mediating role of the cognitive component of fear of crime (perceived seriousness, perceived risk, and perceived control). The results show that television news crime viewing, crime drama, and social media crime video exposure is positively associated with fear about crime. Moreover, three cognitive components of fear of crime played a mediatory role between traditional media exposure and fear of crime. In addition to this, the relationship between social media crime video exposure and fear about crime was mediated by the cognitive component of fear of crime.

Abstract:

Between 2007 and 2011, the number of registered juvenile suspects declined by 44 percent, but the Dutch public did not feel any safer. In this research, we study media coverage of youth crime and interview journalists and their sources in order to investigate the relationship between journalists, their sources, and the possible effects on the public with respect to fear of crime. We find an overrepresentation of youth crime in news coverage, especially in the popular press, and a stronger episodic focus over time. All media focus increasingly on powerful sources that focus on repressive framing, but this is especially found in the elite press. We conclude that news coverage in all media groups, although in different ways, does contribute to the fear of crime in society and the idea that repressive measures are needed. The fact that this fear of crime is also caused by news coverage is acknowledged, but neither journalists nor politicians are able or willing to change this.

Abstract:

The study investigated the socio-demographic characteristics, community characteristics, sources of fear of crime, frequency of news of crime, sources of information on crime, length of stay in the community and perception of rate of crime as predictors of fear of crime among residents in selected communities in Lagos, Nigeria. The study used cross-sectional survey to collect data from 800 respondents, who were randomly selected from four purposively selected communities based on the level of perceived level of social disorganisation- Idi-Araba, Idi-Oro, and Mushin and Surulere. The data were analysed at both descriptive and quantitative analyses. The result revealed that the public sector employee account for approximately twice as much as other factors to the prediction of the fear of crime among the participants under reference. Similarly, ‘not afraid of becoming a victim of crime’ and information about local crime and crime prevention’ contributed two times more than other factors to the prediction of observed fear of crime. Frequency of news about crime, are approximately two times more likely to be predictive of fear of crime. The result revealed that sources of information on crime (such as direct experience, interpersonal communication and mass media are approximately three times more likely predictive of fear of crime when not augmented with other predictors of fear of crime. As for the socio-demographic factors, education and religion have decreasing impact on fear of crime whereas marital status hastens fear of crime with housewife being three times more likely predictive of fear of crime. Intervention should be targeted at the vulnerable group such as separated and divorced to alleviate their fear of crime. Also, how information on crime news is disseminated should be reconsidered to reduce fear of crime among the populace. Lastly, the study suggests a complete overhaul of the general requirements for the standardization and modernization of procedures of policing and involvement of community in crime prevention.

Abstract:

Abstract The study of media images of crime and victimization has tended to focus on the reporting of criminal events. However, the reporting of crime and victimization statistics is an important, if unaddressed theme in crime news coverage. Such statistics, as Joel Best and other social constructionists have argued, perform as important rhetorical devices in the social processes by which crime and (other social) problems are constructed and maintained. Such statistics are used to press claims about the pervasiveness and scope of new problems and therefore about the need for urgent social action. At the earliest stages, these claims may be issued by those who have no official status but who may be the only ones interested in the emergent issue. The legitimacy which statistics lend to social problems is relevant not only at the initial phases of construction, however. To remain on the public agenda, social problems require maintenance. And the regular diffusion of statistical information which purports to document shifts in the scope or size of the problem is essential to such maintenance. Most often, the role of collecting and disseminating statistical information regarding established problems is assumed by state agencies. In general, statistical claims about crime and other social problems reach the general public via the mass media - most importantly the news media. This paper examines news reporting about crime statistics which appeared in Canadian English language print media during the calendar years 1993 and 1994. A search of a computerized data base and a more detailed search of news items appearing during more intensive periods of statistical claim-making yielded a final sample of 244 news articles from major newspapers and newsmagazines. Two broad questions form the focus of the analysis. The first concerns the means by which statistical claims about crime and victimization enter the news flow. Put simply, to whose statistical claims about crime do journalists pay attention and what are the "news hooks" on which media discussions of rates, statistical trends and percentages are hung? The analysis finds that there are principally three routes by which crime statistics become news. The first and most common is the "data release" in the form of press conferences, the release of a new study or the regular release of data by state agencies. Not all of those who seek to make statistical claims of this type are equally likely to attract the attention of the media, and those agencies and individuals who occupy superordinate positions within a hierarchy of credibility are most likely to prove successful in this regard. Such credibility is most typically conveyed via the official status of the source. A second major form of news hook involves efforts at "debunking" or charges of statistical error. In these cases, "new" statistical findings call into question what earlier statistics encouraged audiences to believe. A third route by which crime and victimization statistics enter the news flow relates to the use of statistics as "background" information with respect to some more substantive theme. The second major question on which the paper is focused involves a consideration of the ways in which statistical news is packaged so as to ensure conformity with dominant news values. The analysis suggests that journalists employ a number of strategies to meet these objectives. Most important, there is considerable journalistic effort to dress stories involving statistics in ways that emphasize humour, drama and public interest. As well, an attempt is routinely made to emphasize the importance of reported statistics and the objective character of the reporting itself. A persistent criticism of media reporting of crime is that there is a clear journalistic preference for bad news. This analysis reveals, however, that journalists might be more interested in easy news than in bad news. The availability of official statistics (which in this sample, at least, often described stable or declining trends) and the reliance on liberal social scientists as a counterpoint to the more conservative voices of policing agencies and victims' organizations implies that the statistical images in the media are often more complex than they are assumed to be.
