Psychology of Fear, Crime and the Media (eBook, ePUB)

International Perspectives
Redaktion: Chadee, Derek

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The media continue to have a significant persuasive influence on the public perception of crime, even when the information presented is not reflective of the crime rate or actual crime itself. As new media outlets emerge and public dependence on them increases, the need for social psychological awareness has never been greater. This volume brings together an international team of experts to assess the role of fear and the media in everyday life, and lays the foundation for understanding this from a social psychological perspective in a way that has not yet been systematically presented to the academic world.
