Question: “Many criminologists argue that the stories about crime that we watch or read are more than news or entertainment: they are one way in which we collectively construct the meaning of criminals and victims.”

17 Dec 2022,3:17 AM

 

1. In this question you are asked to critically discuss the over-representation of Indigenous people in custody within Canada. Please include a discussion on 1) theory (for example, critical race/postcolonial) and 2) the words of those who have experienced incarceration.

 

2. “Many criminologists argue that the stories about crime that we watch or read are more than news or entertainment: they are one way in which we collectively construct the meaning of criminals and victims.”

 

In this question you are asked to explain this quote, drawing on at least two of the following:

a. Media and women in conflict with the law

b. Media images and masculinities

c. Media misrepresentations of missing and murdered Indigenous

women, girls, Trans and Two-Spirit Persons

 

3. This question has two parts and is set up as a debate (against yourself):

First, provide a very brief presentation as an advocate for the criminalization of poverty. In your presentation include some discussion on concepts such as: laws that penalize poverty, the Safe Streets Act, broken windows theory, and/or hostile architecture.

Second, respond as a critical criminologist against your above position. This will include an informed assessment against the criminalization of poverty, also including a discussion on the same concepts above (laws that penalize poverty, the Safe Streets Act, broken windows theory, and/or hostile architecture). You may include some discussion on what could be done instead

 

4. This question has two parts. First, imagine yourself as an advocate for Creating Choices: The Task Force Report on Federally Sentenced Women. Demonstrate at least three ways that the needs of the imprisoned women may be met more effectively than at the Prison for Women at Kingston (P4W).

Second, respond as a critical criminologist and/or critical feminist and detail whether these new regional facilities have the potential to address the real underlying issues that bring women into conflict with the law.

 

5. In this short essay you are asked to use the theory of intersectionality to critically explain and elaborate why and how some groups are more likely to be over or under-represented in crime rates and statistics.

Note: In your response to #5, please give specific attention to the social context and nature of crime rates and statistics including how they are created and measured, what they may be missing or not capturing, and why this is important in explaining the over and under representation of certain groups.

 

6. Create your own essay question and answer. This must be based on the material covered in the modules/readings after modules 5.

 

 

HOW TO USE CITATIONS:

 

Citing from the module: If you are citing something from within the writing in the module, you can do this within your text simply by saying for example, (Module 1, The Goals of Criminology). If it is a direct quotation, please use quotation marks! If you are paraphrasing something from the module you do not have to use the quotation marks, but you still must cite your source.

Note 1: If you are paraphrasing something from a module, you would simply cite the module:

Example from Module 3: Through mediation Tim agrees to submit apologies and to participate in community education programs as the fire programs mascot Sparky (Module 3, 2021).

Note 2: Alternatively, if you are citing something that I have cited someone else within the module you would do the following:

 

Citing from your readings: If you are citing something within your readings (and using APA), you would use the author of the chapter that you are citing. If you are quoting directly, you would cite the author, date, and the page number. For example: (Boyd, 2019: 19). If you are paraphrasing, you can leave out the page number. For example: (Boyd, 2019).

 

For example, you might say:

To demonstrate the impact of labelling on future offending, I draw on the notion of primary and secondary deviance, demonstrating how being labelled a criminal can lead to more crime (Stebbings, 2020). This has been shown to be linked to the social construction of crime: “Being labelled by the authorities as a murderer, rapist, prostitute or cheque forger and being sanctioned for such behaviour forces the deviant to change their lifestyle drastically” (Stebbings, 2020: 360).

Expert answer

 

Criminologists have argued that stories about crime, whether read, seen, or heard, are more than sources of news or entertainment. They believe that these stories shape the understanding people have of criminals and victims in a collective manner. This can be particularly evident when looking at media coverage involving women in conflict with the law, images and masculinities, and misrepresentations of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, Trans and Two-Spirit People.

 

When it comes to women in conflict with the law, studies have found that media coverage often reduces their experience to one based on gender stereotypes. For instance, there is an emphasis on violence as it relates to female criminality which can lead audiences to associate women with greater deviance than men who have committed the same types of crime. This can lead to more punitive responses from legal professionals and general society when dealing with female offenders. Similarly, media images and masculinities, often depict men as strong, stoic, and unemotional. This has been linked to an increase in violent behavior among young men as they feel pressure to conform to stereotypical gender roles.

 

Finally, misrepresentations of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, Trans and Two-Spirit People are also common in news media coverage. These stories often focus on sensationalized aspects rather than providing accurate representations which can lead to further victimization by creating a false narrative about their lives or deaths. Furthermore, these inaccurate portrayals do not serve justice when it comes time for families to seek closure or legal action.

 

Overall, the stories we consume about crime can have far-reaching implications on how people view criminals and victims. This is why it is important to critically evaluate media coverage and be aware of potential biases in order to create a culture that accurately portrays those involved, providing justice while also reducing harmful stereotypes.

 

This quote highlights how much influence stories about crime hold in forming collective perceptions, as well as the responsibility that comes with holding this power. By understanding the impact of these stories, we can work towards creating more accurate and equitable representations of criminals and victims alike. With this aim in mind, it is essential for us to continue to evaluate media portrayals in order to ensure that no individual or group is misrepresented. Doing so will ensure that the meaning of criminals and victims is accurately portrayed, creating a fairer society for all.
