A gang assault. A school bus ambush. With each successive event, fingers are pointed at the usual suspects: violent films, bloody video games, explicit web sites. But to what extent can—or should—the media be implicated in youth crime? And are today's sophisticated young people really that susceptible to their influence?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdolescents, Crime, and the Media\u003c\/i\u003e critically examines perceptions of these phenomena through the lens of the ongoing relationship between generations of adults and youth. A wealth of research findings transcends the standard nature\/nurture debate, analyzing media effects on young people's behavior, brain development in adolescence, ways adults can be misled about youth’s participation in criminal acts, and how science can be manipulated by prevailing attitudes toward youth. The author strikes a necessary balance between the viewpoints of media providers and those seeking to restrict media or young people's access to them. And the book brings scientific and intellectual rigor to culturally and politically charged issues as it covers:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViolence in the media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia portrayals of crime and youth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch on violent television programs, video games, and other media as causes of crime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects of pornography on behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic policy, censorship, and First Amendment issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdolescents, Crime, and the Media\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, professionals, and clinicians across such interrelated disciplines as developmental psychology, sociology, educational policy, criminology\/criminal justice, child and school psychology, and media law.    \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-03-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461467403\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-6741-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 175\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47389757964428,"sku":"9781461467403","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461467403.jpg?v=1775761241","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461467403","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
