內容簡介
There is now a long tradition of academic literature in media studies and criminology that has analysed how we come to think about crime， deviance and punishment. This book for the first time deals specifically with the role of language in this process， showing how critical linguistic analysis can provide further crucial insights into media representations of crime and criminals. Through case studies the book develops a toolkit for the analysis of language and images in examples taken from a range of media. The Language of Crimeand Deviance covers spoken， written and visual media discourses and focuses on a number of specific areas of crime and criminal justice， including media constructions of young people and women; media and the police， 'reality crime shows; corporate crime; prison and drugs.It is therefore a welcome and valuable contribution to the fields of linguistics， criminology， media and cultural studies.
