Yvonne Jewkes' Media & Crime has established itself as the key text in this important area of criminology. This new edition incorporates pivotal developments in a rapidly transforming media landscape, and will prove an invaluable resource for criminology students and researchers alike.

The book is very appropriate for the theme of Media and Crime. This particular edition provides information on terrorist activities. It lays emphasis on the immediacy of crime reportage due to the rise in the use of mobile, social media platforms and the camera, thereby making ''everyday crime news, more immediate, more visual and more democratic'' production -wise. It also acknowledges the remarkable advancement in audience media literacy in crime reportage.

I have drawn on Jewkes in previous teaching so it is good to have this up-to-date source.

Well written at the appropriate level for my Policing studies students.

A clear & concise insight into the Media impact on crime and the fear of crime in the UK

An impressive update on the previous edition with a range of additional material added.
Still essential reading for any module relating to crime and the media.

This remains the 'go to' text for students with an interest in how the media shapes crime

Though the issue of media and crime is gaining incremental research interest within the criminological, sociological, and social psychological literature, there are currently few academic texts that are comprehensive and in a text-book format relating to this subject matter. I applaud Professor Jewkes for researching and writing this timely and very useful book.

Help with the criteria of the unit being studied and gives and excellent overview of crime as portrayed in the media

Good book. more useful in 2016, when a Media and Crime module becomes available here.

This book is a great resource for both research and teaching.

Crucial addition to the reading list for this unit.

In Media and Crime one of the field’s very best scholars offers a critical panorama of crime and media, from prison films to surveillance culture and cybercrime. As intellectually sophisticated as it is narratively engaging, Yvonne Jewkes’ Media and Crime is a masterful must-read.
