Product Description
Product Description
An understanding of the dynamics of news construction and a critical awareness of popular media representations of policing is central to an understanding of the history and development of policing in the UK. At the same time it provides a fascinating media case study of the complex interaction of representation and reality in the key criminal justice agency.
