From the supplier: The 'social construction of crime and crime control' in the US is dominated by three pervading themes concerned with the relationship between the press and social control. These pertain to the portrayal of a criminal as a media icon, media coverage of sexual crimes against women, and the depiction of encounters between citizens and the police force. These indicate a propensity of the news media to portray the perpetrators of crime as external dangers and law enforces as the legitimate 'agents of control.'
