1	Media: Effects on Attitudes toward Police and Fear of Criminal Victimization. Edwards, Bradley 05 May 2007 (has links) This research investigated the effects of the media on attitudes toward police and fear of crime, while controlling for selected audience trait variables. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 351 students at East Tennessee State University. The survey consisted of demographic and audience trait variables. The survey also contained items that measured the respondants' media consumption. Respondents were asked, for example, which format they typically get news from (e.g., newspaper, television), how often they watch television, and how real they perceive crime related television to be. Multivariate analysis showed that demographic and audience trait variables explained more variance than did media-related variables. fear attitudes toward police media Social and Behavioral Sciences Social Control, Law, Crime, and Deviance Sociology
