In your report you will need to compare and contrast the ways in which the victims and offenders are represented in the articles A and B. See the REPORT STRUCTURE below for the detailed structure of your report,
you must include at least five academically credible and correctly cited references in the report (providing page numbers where appropriate) as well as a list of these references at the end. Of these 3 sources must be derived from module specific recommended readings and/or the Reading List on Canvas. A very good or excellent answer is likely to use more than the minimum number of texts, although answers that engage thoroughly and critically with their chosen texts and integrate them really well throughout the report can achieve top marks with the use of just five academic sources. Assessments that do not include at least 5 credible academic sources are likely to not pass.
At the beginning of your report (after the introduction) you will need to provide a 600 words overview of relevant literature on media representations of crime, terrorism, and victimisation (please see the REPORT STRUCTURE below).
There is a wide range of literature available to you. The module Reading List is accessible via the Home Page, Key Module Information contains key academic texts for this module as well as links to the Crime Media Culture journal and the British Journal of Criminology. Both journals are excellent sources of academic articles on media representations of crime and victimisation.
