TASK 1
The media control people’s perceptions of crime and victim of sexual offences.
Mass media and individual has the curious level of obsession crime as the libraries &
bookstore for the crime fiction and nonfiction books. In addition to that’s the newspaper is
devoting almost 30% of coverage to different crime happening all around the world. On the
other hand, some of group have accused the above statements stating as there it is dangerous to
have presenting the view of distorted crimes both in time of secession of different new crime
stories dependence in term of new worthiness and over-representation in exaggeration crimes.
As the result, it an increase the risk of individuals in victims.
The media have significant in term of settlement agenda in crime and deviance with
influence the different issues that proper have thought about it. The mass media is not successful
is delivering every single event of crime but the different media personal is considered to be
selective over the happening which is needed to ignored or to be viewed. As the result, audience
is only able to discuss on the topic which have been properly delivered to them and form differs
opinion and deviances. The result continued to be as proper perception over crim and deviance

There is need for the people to understand that the incident of cries happening around have
formation of different opinion before the official’s data released by governance authorities.
However, it can be states as our perception of crime have been related as the psychologist have
usage of term “Backfire effect” which have concluding human tendency to rate familiar
statements. audience regularly listen to crime report for the new organizations have become
more familiar and accepted. There is natural level of fear in crime is frequent and rising which is
leading to have drawing different conclusion.
The purpose of the media is to have the raise awareness among media professionals and
speaks to be true as unfamiliar ones. As per the study is accomplishes by the group criminal
justice professors has focussed in the devotee coverage of the “individual looking out in criminal
events which involve typical victims and offenders of violence.” As people are hearing incident
for multiple time, probably for 1month will lead to he dipropionates and inaccurate view of
accrual crime rates within the city. There is area which have include the risk factor in term
victimization, underlying crime police/community efforts to reduce crime.
The news event has been turning out to be drastic and dramatic as the single rape have for
local newspaper. The serial rapist will be turning out to be national story for example the
Yorkshire ripper. Hence the crime has turned out to be newsworthy as it is been presented as
serious, random and unpredictable enough as the panic issue have occurred of becoming the
victim by oneself. As for example - the ‘war on terror’ meant to felt by many people at initial
person in UK at risk. Events such as violent ones are to be accompanied film, CCTV footages or
mobile one as they are nebulising media to provide the visual and dramatic impact footage
audience. It has been found that the new media tends to exaggerates the extent of violent crimes
seeking out the newsworthy stories of crime and desinence in order to have exploitation of
possibilities in way of dramatizing, exaggerating, over-reporting and sensationalising in
proportion to generate audience interest and attract readers.
Most of the crime are fairly routine, trial and non-dramatic of picked up from serious and
violent offences in sexual assault, murder or armed robbery. The media have restructuring
dramatic the routine feature programmes providing the false and misleading impression on the
real extents. Such crime representation has created tend of the distorted perception of crim
among the majority of the public, exaggerating threat and unnecessary increase in fear crime.
The result continued to be as proper perception over crim and deviance in the respective society
