... 'A nation stalked by FEAR' (The Sun, 17th July 2002). What can the study of newspaper coverage of official crime statistics tell us about the problem of crime? The official statistics used to determine the crime rates and the problem of crime are based on the recording by the police of notifiable offences. The media then relate these statistics to the public. By studying newspaper coverage of official crime statistics would allow the public to determine for themselves the problem of crime, but is this a true picture of crime? I will in this essay explain the complexity of studying crime statistics through media coverage by using two newspaper articles one taken from The Sun, a tabloid newspaper and the other The Guardian which is a broadsheet, they are both daily newspapers. The media can generate fear; people read about crimes that happen and take it as it may happen to them.
