• W2020778372 abstract "Sociologists have long been interested in how reactions to deviance influence social order and consensus. However, classic statements on this subject present contrasting hypotheses. This article extends previous work by examining how extensive media coverage of an interracial homicide influences public attitudes toward criminal justice system. Initial results indicate that race, education, and police contact directly effect perceptions of criminal injustice. Perceptions of injustice are especially high among well-educated blacks who have had recent contact with police. Further analysis reveals that media coverage of homicide seems temporarily to consolidate public confidence in police and criminal courts. However, this effect varies by race and education. We discuss theoretical implications of these findings. mile Durkheim's (1960) observation that deviance is a normal and necessary part of development of society's collective conscience is a centerpiece of modern sociology. Most modern sociologists agree that deviance and public reactions to it play a major part in defining boundaries between normative and nonnormative behavior, often helping to draw lines between acceptable and unacceptable activities, and seemingly enhancing social order and societal consensus. However, Kai Erikson (1966) added a different dimension to this Durkeimian insight in his seminal sociological analysis of Salem witch trials and accompanying hysteria. The Salem witch hunt spread through Massachusetts Bay Colony during a crisis of uncertainty about purposes of Puritanism at end of 17th century. The trials may at first have allayed these uncertainties, but ensuing hysteria eventually threatened to divide colony in unexpected ways. Although witch hunt began predictably enough, with suspicions focused on a slave working in home of a local minister, hysteria ultimately produced allegations of witchcraft against pastor of Boston's First Church who was also president of Harvard College. The witch trials themselves began to undermine authority and legitimacy of institutions they putatively supported. The trials spun out of control and in a direction that threatened to tear collectivity apart. Leaders of colony eventually intervened to bring this public spectacle to a halt (Erikson 1966). Highly publicized reactions to deviance, therefore, have capacity to engender conflict as well as consensus. Indeed, when individuals from identifiable groups are selected for treatment as deviant, it can contribute to creation of a permanent class of deviants (Erikson 1966:197; Mead 1918; Hagan & Palloni 1990). Erikson (1966:197) called this a and writes that the Puritan deployment pattern was based on almost permanent exclusion of a deviant class-a category of who would normally be expected to engage in unacceptable activities and to oppose rest of social order. Usually, misfits so deployed are drawn from disadvantaged groups in society (Schur 1980). There is much to learn about highly publicized deployments of deviance, which may sometimes take forms of dramatizations of evil (Tannenbaum 1938), degradation ceremonies (Garfinkle 1956), or demonized moral panics (Cohen 1972). Our article extends previous work by examining how media coverage of an interracial homicide influences public attitudes toward justice system. During collection of data in a survey on justice issues, three black men shot and killed a white woman in a robbery at an upscale Toronto cafe-coincidentally named Just Desserts. This crime gained extensive media coverage from newspapers, radio, and television. The event and resulting coverage at time when we were in midst of an ongoing survey created a unique opportunity to examine influence of highly publicized deployments of deviance further. …" @default.
