It offers an accessible and in-depth examination of media and in each chapter there are case studies and examples from both legacy and new media, including discussions from Twitter that are being used to raise awareness of criminal legal issues. It also includes interviews with international scholars and practitioners from Australia, Belgium, and the United States to voice a range of global perspectives. This book speaks broadly to those interested in criminology, criminal justice, media and culture, sociology, and gender studies.

“This book is a vital resource for criminology students and researchers grappling with the implications of new media technology for crime and justice. Through a dynamic blend of theory, research and contemporary case studies, the authors provide an accessible and comprehensive exploration of the field of criminology media studies. They demonstrate how new media is not only changing patterns of crime, but also responses to it by law enforcement, the criminal justice system, ‘legacy’ media and the community. This book provides a cutting-edge update of crime and media studies for the social media age.” (Michael Salter, Western Sydney University, Australia)
