Sex crime in the news

This systematic study, based on 5000 newspapers over a 40 year period, considers the way in which newspapers have reported sex crimes. The study reveals that much of the reportage is trivial, whilst serious studies of sex crimes and law reform are given short shrift in the popular press. The number of sex crimes, particularly rape, reported to the police has risen in recent years and public concern is mounting. The authors show that, despite this, the media typically ignores the wider issues raised by concerned groups, preferring to highlight a few unusual cases. The increasing gap between the reality of sexual abuse and the reportage of it in the press, raises, argue the authors, broad concerns about relationships between the media, the individual and the state. The book is intended to be of use to people working in the media, to legislators involved in debates about the press, to students working in women's studies, cultural and media studies and those working in the field of deviancy.

Making Sense of Criminology

Making Sense of Criminology is a clear, concise introduction for all students new to the subject. As well as introducing ideas about crime and criminals, it is intended to help students make sense of criminology as a study or discipline. The authors present criminology as a debate about assessing and evaluating information connected with crime. The book explores the key issues, philosophies and debates in criminology, making use of a variety of writers and texts to illuminate recurring themes and tensions in the field. Students are encouraged to become aware of what constitutes data in criminology and to recognize the uses of theory in evaluating criminological problems. In a ground plan of the subject, the history of criminology is set alongside current information about the justice system and awareness of current trends in research. This provides an excellent base on which new students can build their study.

Understanding Criminal Careers

The study of criminal careers is of increasing interest in criminology. It is now generally recognised that it is important to try to understand criminal behaviour across the life-course rather than focusing on fragmented incidents which provide only a partial picture. This is an accessible text which clarifies the crucial theoretical and methodological debates surrounding the study of criminal careers. It focuses on some major longitudinal studies discussing the onset, persistence, desistance and the duration of a criminal career. The important topics of prediction, risk and specialisation are addressed. The challenging question of 'When do ex-offenders become like non-offenders?' points a way forward. The book concludes by proposing an even more ambitious approach to the topic of criminal careers.
