Race-Specific Gender Equality and Rape
Television and Fear of Crime
Recent work in the area of media and fear of crime suggest that both program content and audience traits are important factors in predicting fear of crime. Working from these premises, this article explores the relationship between watching television and fear of crime among twelve different audience sub-samples and six program types. Additionally, we examine whether respondents' perception of the racial composition of their neighborhood provides…
The Racial and Ethnic Typification of Crime and The Criminal Typification of Race and Ethnicity in Local Television News
Local news programming from three television stations in Orlando, Florida was analyzed for racial and ethnic content in relation to crime. The data show that Blacks are not overrepresented among TV news suspects relative to their proportion in the population or among those arrested in Orlando.

In this study, we conduct a content analysis of the 50 top-grossing films in 1996 to measure the prevalence and nature of sex and rape dep…

Research into audience attributes that distinguish “media effects,” on the fear of crime (FEAR) has been limited—particularly as it relates to the reception of news. This study is based on a survey of 2,092 adults in Tallahassee, Florida at the height of a media driven “panic” about violent crime. Controlling for age, gender, ra…
