BCJ3100 Columbia Southern Media Reinforces Ideas of Criminal Discussions

BCJ 3100 UNIT V DISCUSSION BOARD QUESTION (2/23/)

How does the media, in the role of a courtroom spectator, reinforce ideas of what a criminal looks like?

I hve to comment on my classmates discussion board question this is what they wrote: (2/23)

The media certainly reinforces ideas of what a criminal looks like. Many media outlets reinforce the public’s racial misconceptions about crime by presenting African Americans and Latinos differently than Caucasian individuals. Additionally, television news programs and newspapers over-represent racial minorities as crime suspects and Caucasian individuals as crime victims. African American and Latino suspects are also more likely than Caucasians to be presented in a non-individualized and threatening way.
