Teen Trouble 2007
12% of crime is committed by teenagers
Media makes it bad because readers want to read about it.
People forget youths are part of society
Police tell people to move if public call
Mosquito alarm for teens
Newspapers being harsh
CCTV used frequently to catch youths
Cultivation Theory
Proliferation of press coverage will believe that is whats happening in real life, which in turn creates moral panic, making everyone scared of youths.
Hypodermic needle theory. Injected by the media and we believe everything we see or read.
Desensitisation - the more we see in media the more desensitised we are to it so we might get used to it so it doesn't effect us as much
