Crime And Women In The Media

Introduction:

Women are seen differently when it comes to crime in the media. They are represented differently than males are. This paper will cover the research that shows the differences between females and males in media. Women are commonly viewed as nice people who only commit a crime because they snap for different reasons, the most common reason being mental illness. I think it is important to show that not only when it comes to violence on television, but also when it comes to depending on men on screen. It is important to review the differences between males and females and how they are misrepresented in the media.

I not only wanted to show about violence in the media, but I also wanted to show how females are represented differently

I was also intrigued about how females and males are shown differently on television. The media in general was something I knew I wanted to base my paper on. One wouldn’t think that males and females would be any different, but they are. Female crime and male crime should be viewed the same and shown the same, but it is not. There shouldn’t be a difference whether a woman was to kill or a man kills. They are both equally guilty. Females are generally seen as having mental illness, which is why they turn to murder. That doesn’t necessarily need to be the case. Men are seen as killers just because people say they are monsters. There is a large gender bias when it comes to how we are supposed to see female and male crime. Men can also have mental illness, but it isn’t usually thought of that way because they don’t have the stereotype of being the “caregiver” in the family. I think that the media needs to do a better job of showing that women and crime can go together. I don’t think it is fair to show females in a different light than

I also think it is important to show that not all violent crime they do is related to mental illness. I also think it is important to start pointing out that men can also have mental illness and they can also “snap.” It is important that media and academics be compared because there are many similarities in the way that female crime is perceived. There are also a lot of differences. In order to educate people about something, it is important to see both sides and to have facts from different sides. If everything was one sided, then we would never learn. Academic articles are done to show what has been learned over the years and how things can change, or remain the same. I came across articles from the 90’s, which are of course different than articles that might be written today because we have come a long way since then. I think it needs to be relayed to society that women are capable as the same crime that males are. Just because they are stereotyped to not be as violent, doesn’t mean they can’t
