News Media, Victims and Crime
[In an uncertain late-modern world with its relentless cycle of news and hyperbole, how do everyday people make sense of the whirlwind into which they are thrown? This chapter analyses the impact of the crime and of the subsequent media coverage of that event, on the wider community involved. It gives short quantitative snapshot of UK press coverage of the serious crime event that took place in Dunblane. Media headlines ‘set the scene’ and provide context within which the community readings (and themes) of the media coverage are broadly situated. This chapter explores victimisation as a process, from how the participants learnt of the crime initially, through the changes that it affected on their individual and collective identity and lives, to their community as a focus for ongoing international attention and focus of public grief. This chapter introduces the reader to the quiet moments of personal kindness, the sometime solidarity of a community under siege as well as to the anger, power-broking, fear and division generated by both the most heinous of crimes and the pressure of the media and wider society’s reaction to them.]
