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 (CSEW) 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.
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.
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.

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❗️❗️⚠️
