cjm 51: Dangerous offenders

Thursday, 6 March 2003

Kevin Stenson and Penny Fraser guest edit this edition on dangerous offenders.

Contributors include:

  • Chris Greer arguing that sensationalised media coverage of violent crime leads to a climate of fear and intolerance
  • James Sheptycki dissects the self-mythologising memoirs of a serial killer.
  • In the past men who committed violence at home were protected by public attitudes that blamed the victim. Mieko Bond describes a Merseyside campaign tackling these misperceptions.
  • David Edwards describes the new national database of sex offenders.
