Trap, Snip, Repeat
Cat overpopulation in Toronto, Canada, is a serious and growing problem. Small, and frequently isolated, groups of volunteers work in a variety of capacities to help mitigate the large numbers of litters produced by stray and feral cats. One such organisation is Toronto Street Cats. This volunteer group works with the help of the Toronto Humane Society to operate a monthly trap/neuter/release (TNR) programme. Groups of caretakers look after regis…
Teaching and doing anti-criminology
As both first-generation, working-class Canadians from Italian immigrant families we were very much outsiders to the academy when we began our respective university studies in the late 1980s. Today, as third-generation critical criminologists, we strive to bring an intersectional perspective to the classroom and to likewise enable marginalized students to find their voice and position themselves as active subjects, not objects of others’ inquiry.…
Strange Bedfellows
Mass Media and Socialization
Socialization is a lifelong process through which people learn the patterns of their culture. This process is facilitated by a host of agents of socialization such as the family unit, the educational system, peer groups, and the mass media. This entry focuses on the role of the mass media in the process of socialization. The mass media's increasing ubiquity and ever divergent forms leave little question as to their pervasiveness. While they are a…

Specifically, we suggest that the discrepancy of the value of the dead is the result of the links between power, politics, and hegemonic discourse embedded in neoliberalism that propagate and reify unequal…

Mass Media and Socialization
Socialization is a lifelong process through which people learn the patterns of their culture, including behavioral expectations, values, and “truths.” This process is facilitated by a host of groups and institutions such as the family unit, the educational system, peer groups, and the mass media. Debates in sociology and related social sciences over the relative importance and impact of these agents on individual behavior have raged for decades w…
Constructing Crime
Arguably one of most significant and potentially illuminating areas of criminological inquiry is analysis of media, and popular culture. As residents of a highly technological society undergoing rapid transformations in conduits for information on we have an increasing array of options in forming our ideas about crime and justice. A staple assertion of introductory texts and lectures is that societal perceptions of crime are formed through exposu…
Crime on the High Seas
Bits of Falling Sky and Global Pandemics
Whether it's a story about crime, the weather, politics, Hollywood celebrities, or public health, sensationalistic and exploitative coverage is a media staple. The mass media's coverage of the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in the spring of 2003 was no exception. The media's construction of the source, virulence, and transmissibility of this disease, a previously unknown cousin of the common cold, diverged considerably from …
