Analysing examples from forty years of newspaper coverage, the authors provide a systematic study of this controversial topic. The book reveals the misleading and trivializing nature of sex crime coverage, with serious research reports on rape and discussions on law reform being given short shrift. The authors examine the increasing gap between the reality of sexual abuse and the coverage it receives in the press, and they set their detailed empirical work within a context of broader concerns about the relationship between the media, the individual and the state. Critical though it is of the press, this book will be of special interest to people working in the media, and to legislators involved in debates about the press. It will also be of value to students on course in women's studies, cultural and media studies, and deviancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of illustrations Acknowledgements\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eThe newspaper studies \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eSeeking out the sex fiend \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eSex crime in court \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eSex offenders after conviction \u003cb\u003e6. \u003c\/b\u003eInforming the public \u003cb\u003e7. \u003c\/b\u003eChanging legal practice \u003cb\u003e8. \u003c\/b\u003eConclusion \u003ci\u003eNotes Name index Subject index\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51019068997975,"sku":"9781032461885","price":82.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032461885.jpg?v=1750779201","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sex-crime-in-the-news-9781032461885","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
