Constructing Danger

The Mis/Representation of Crime in the News

Christopher McCormick

This book examines different criminal topics through looking at actual news articles and analyzing how subtle distortions creep into crime coverage. The underlying perspective is that the news not only reports crime but socially constructs it, reproducing crime myths in the process. This book is sure to change the way you think about crime in the news.
