Maria Kafatou-Haeusermann: The Media-Crime Nexus Revisited: On the Re-Construction of Crime and Law-and-Order in Crime-Appeal Programming. (MPIK 133) Berlin: Duncker & Humblot 2007.
Verlagsanzeige: “By drawing on social theory, criminology, media and communications studies, and combining a variety of research methods, the present study aims to contribute to the long-standing academic debate surrounding the media-crime nexus through the in-depth examination of an area of media output that has largely been excluded from the debate thus far: crime-appeal programming. The last two decades have seen a profound expansion of this type of television output throughout the Western world. Crime-appeal programmes such as the German Aktenzeichen XY … ungelöst and its international counterparts (America’s Most Wanted, Crimewatch UK etc.) are watched by millions of viewers, yet there has been, to date, no systematic attempt to examine these programmes’ origins, their content as well as their social and policy implications.” (Inhaltsverzeichnis als PDF-Datei.)
