Sex Crime in the News

by Keith Soothill and Sylvia Walby

Book Overview

This systematic study, based on 5000 newspapers over a 40 year period, considers the way in which newspapers have reported sex crimes. The study reveals that much of the reportage is trivial, whilst serious studies into sex crimes and law reform are given short shrift in the popular press.
