1. Topic 7: Crime and the Media: THE MEDIA AS A CAUSE OF CRIME
Ironically it seems crime and deviance might be generated through the media in two ways:
A When the media portray and glamorise criminal and deviant lifestyles and
acts
B When the media portray and glamorise NON-criminal and deviant lifestyles
and acts
Task : link the stimulus material to either statement A or B and, where you can, link them
to a perspective (Left Realism, Right Realism, Marxism, Neo-Marxism, Functionalism, Strain
Theory, Labelling, Feminism/Masculinity theories, Subcultural theories....)
