More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of justice representation, the book examines the shift from traditional community punishments to media-driven expressions of justice, such as rage and grief. Through this lens, it highlights how institutions of justice and public reactions are portrayed in the media, revealing a sanitized engagement with control and justice that contrasts with historical practices. Smith's analysis provides insight into the changing dynamics of societal responses to crime and punishment.
