Laurie Taylor PROGRAMME DETAILS Wednesday 18 September Crime Laurie Taylor is joined by three experts on the criminal justice system and the media's role within it. Guests Robert Reiner Professor of Criminology, London School of Economics Martin Innes Lecturer, Department of Sociology, University of Surrey Nils Christie Professor of Criminology, Institute of Criminology, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo By publicising crime, does mass media cause crime? Does mass media increase fears about crime and disorder? Current thinking suggests the relationship between media representations of crime, crime itself and the criminal justice system is much more complex and considerably more dynamic than previously suspected.
