Public Perception and Crime Trends

The second page delves into the disconnect between public perception of crime and actual crime statistics, highlighting how media influence on public perception of crime shapes societal attitudes.

Quote: "Excluding fraud and computer misuse offences, there were an estimated 5.9 million incidents of crime experienced by adults aged 16 and over based on Crime Survey for England and Wales CSEWCSEW interviews in the year ending March 2017."

Highlight: Research indicates that while the public generally believes crime is increasing, actual crime rates are decreasing according to official statistics.

The text explores various impacts on different demographic groups:

Example: "The Good Childhood Report" found that two in five teenagers in the UK worry about anti-social behaviour and other crimes.

The concept of typification by Cicourel is introduced:

Definition: Typification refers to how law enforcement officials develop predetermined ideas about typical perpetrators of specific crimes, often leading to self-fulfilling prophecies.

Public Perception and Crime Trends

This section examines the disconnect between actual crime trends and public perception, supported by statistical evidence from the Crime Survey of England and Wales.

Quote: "Excluding fraud and computer misuse offences, there were an estimated 5.9 million incidents of crime experienced by adults aged 16 and over... This is a decrease of 7% from the 6.3 million incidents estimated in the previous year's survey."

Highlight: The Good Childhood Report reveals significant impacts on youth well-being, with two in five teenagers worried about anti-social behavior.

Example: Knife crime concerns leading to amnesty programs demonstrate how public perception can influence policy responses.

Media Representations and Moral Panic

The first page explores the concept of moral panic and its relationship with media representations of crime. The text examines how media coverage can significantly influence public perception and potentially lead to increased criminal behavior.

Definition: Stanley Cohen defines moral panic as "an exaggerated, irrational over-reaction by society to a perceived problem."

Example: The 1960s clash between Mods and Rockers represents one of the earliest documented moral panics, where media sensationalization led to exaggerated reporting. A headline claimed "wild ones invade seaside - 97 arrests" when only 24 arrests occurred.

Highlight: The deviance amplification spiral demonstrates how attempts to control deviance can paradoxically produce more deviant behavior.

The text also addresses contemporary concerns such as Islamophobia and terrorism:

Vocabulary: Islamophobia refers to a dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims.

Vocabulary: Amnesty is defined as officially pardoning or confirming that no criminal action will be taken.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend
