Victims & The Impact Of Media

In this course, students are sensitized to the impact of the media on victims of crime. In an era in which the reporting of crime in the various media has increased considerably and crime stories have become sensationalized, it is necessary to develop skills in media research, communication, and public relations in order to effectively advocate for victims of crime. Students are asked to evaluate the role of the media in the lives of victims, paying particular attention to issues of privacy and disclosure.
