| Summary |
It has been well established that fear of crime is, at least in part, influenced by the media. Despite the diversity of media outlets, a common discourse often emerges that criminal behavior is a product of bad people from poor neighborhoods preying on innocent and undeserving victims. The use of mixed methodology can be productive in detecting these common threads from discourse, particularly across time and place. In the case described here, a combination of content analysis and critical discourse analysis were undertaken to determine the prevalence of language provoking fear of crime and marginalization on a cross-section of Canadian print media and whether the portrayals of crime have changed over a span of 30 years |
