Media and Crime by Yvonne Jewkes

Media and Crime by Yvonne Jewkes

Pointing a critical spotlight on media constructions of crime, this text aims to develop our understanding of the relationship between crime and the media, as well as taking existing knowledge in new directions.

"Jewke′s book is thus a triangulated study, which contributes to a usefully interdisciplinary attempt to think through the relationship between media and crimeWhile it is written as a textbook, the rich and varied theoretical substance of, and case studies in, the book is suitable for research review purposes.  Media and Crime: A Critical Introduction is a useful introductory text, which contains useful features for class discussion (e.g., study questions, summary, keyword definition)."
