Economic Conditions and Ideologies of Crime in the Media: A Content Analysis of Crime News

Melissa Hickman Barlow

David E. Barlow

Theodore G. Chiricos

This study explores the relationship between media portrayal of crime and conditions in the political economy. Based on a content analysis of articles about crime appearing in Time magazine during the post-World War II period, it is argued that news about crime is ideological, that is, it gives an inadequate and distorted picture of the contradictory reality of crime in the context of the capitalist political economy in the United States.
