- W156333683 abstract "There seems to be a pervasive attitude amongst South Africans that crime levels are rising and that crime is of control as anyone, no matter how careful they are, can fall victim to crime. Based on these assumptions, criminal violence and the risk of victimisation are perceived by many people to be the most pressing issues in South Africa at the moment. Many factors influence each individual's perceptions of criminal violence, such as past experience of victimisation, cultural understandings of criminal violence, and particular ideologies that an individual adopts. Media presentations have a powerful and pervasive influence not only on the ways in which people come to perceive criminal violence but also on the ways in which they experience their own victimisation, should they become a victim of violent crime. A small number of studies have been carried out exploring the influence of mass media representations of criminal violence on audiences' perceptions of violent crime. This exploratory article reviews these studies and considers their results and inferences. It shows that the news media form an important part of the conceptual framework through which people construct their understandings of crime. We conclude that South Africa, which has a comparatively high level of crime and where fear of crime seems to be consistently escalating - despite decreases in crime statistics - needs more contemporary studies of the nature and extent of the news media's influence on these conceptual frameworks. These studies should also explore in more depth the effects these frameworks have on subjective experiences of risk and victimisation as well as on crime management policy and practices." @default.
