There is a disconnect between the realities of crime and the way crime is represented in U.S. news and entertainment media. In Crime in TV, the News, and Film: Misconceptions, Mischaracterizations, and Misinformation, Adubato and colleagues adopt a multidisciplinary approach to highlight the nature of crime, victim, and offender representations in the media, reality, and the causes and impacts of the gulf between what people observe in media and reality. This book is a must read for any person who is interested in the ways media representations of crime, victims, and offenders influence daily life and society.--Jennifer L. Lanterman, University of Nevada, Reno
