Domestic Violence, Media, and Social Problems

• Gebundenes Buch

Framing the Victim illustrates how victims of domestic violence are "framed" by the dominant media perspectives focused on them and falsely blamed for a crime committed by someone else. Berns critiques the stories that emerge when social problems are shaped by guidelines that promote entertainment, victim empowerment, inspiration and politics.
