Initial statements
Question1
The Australian media does not give the general public an accurate portrayal of the
criminal justice system. In light of research did on media portrayal of the criminal equity it
has been reasoned that the media is over-soaked with tales about crimes, culprits and criminal
exploitation. Media fundamentally depend on police criminal equity authorities, as essential
sources and correspondents, uncritically acknowledge criminal equity authorities'
perspectives of wrongdoing to delineate crime. The substance in concern to level and reality
of crime in Australian culture is incredibly misrepresented by the media, regularly
purposefully, when contrasted with the genuine rates and earnestness of crimes (Gans, 2016).
The media over-speaks to violent and sensational wrongdoings like serial killings, murder
and assault, when contrasted with less serious crimes like robbery and burglary. Young
people are delineated as hoodlums by the media in rates that far surpass their genuine
contribution in wrongdoing. Despite the fact that the issue of bigotry is on a decay, the media
over-speaks to ethnic minorities as criminal suspects and the wrongdoings against whites are
given more consideration by the media than violations against non-white individuals. In
different media outlets the police are portrayed as whites while culprits are delineated as non-
white individuals, so the issue of biasness regarding shading is still finished delineated in the
media.
Question 2
In my view the element of Victorian criminal justice system in need of reform is the
magistrates’ Court on how criminal justice is delivered. This is the place most Victorians
encounter the criminal equity framework, it is particularly the general population's court.
Mounting weight over numerous years from changes to the law, bleeding edge policing and
obsolete court forms has made a disorganized and conflicting framework, (Ormerod, Laird,
Smith & Hogan 2015). The legitimate guide attorneys who give exhortation and portrayal to
Victorians over the entirety of Magistrates' Courts in the state are basic to the equity
framework having the capacity to serve the network. Be that as it may, at the present time,
they are extended to limit as are police prosecutors and court staff (Boister,2018). The weight
on the administrations arrangement inside the Magistrates' court being the busiest piece of the
criminal equity framework, the court are presently moving toward an emergency point.
Requests is expanding, weight on staff and administrations is building and without critical
