Rentschler, California (2007). Victims' rights and the fight against crime in the media. Canadian Journal of Communications, 32(2), 219-239. This journal article discussed the visibility of victims of crime in the media. This shows that victims' families need time to grieve and grieve after a murder, but the media tends to harass them, making them relive distressing moments. The success of the victims' rights movement allowed victims to be seen as victims rather than sources of information and targets for the media. The National Center for Victims of Crime has helped victims when it comes to telling their stories in the media. For example, children reading irrelevant or falsely negative characteristics about their parents in the news would have an influence on them. The organization provides assistance in obtaining correct information about the events without denigrating the victim and affecting their families. The article continues to illustrate the importance of privacy and understanding the emotional state of families and the effects of media on them. Soothill, K., Walby, S. and Bagguley, P. (1990). Judges, the media and rape. Journal of Law and Society, 17(2), 211-233. This article focuses on the influence of judges on the media and its effects on victims. There have been numerous cases where judges have committed sexual assault and discriminatory sexist comments towards rape victims. These comments often appeared in the newspapers or made the front page of articles. The power of men over women is strongly represented not only through rape but also in the understanding of the problem. The judge's sexist remarks regarding rape influence public opinion because he is considered an expert. Reports would not help the public understand... middle of article...... Gays, lesbians and transgender people tend to be less reported and if they are, they often attract comment negative (J, 2001). It's the same thing when women are raped. The blame lies with the victim rather than the offender (Soothill et al. 1990). The media also determines what type of crime is considered serious. This impacts victims because they may feel that their victimization should be taken more seriously than the media has projected (Gebotys, 1988). Further research should illustrate what specific type of media attention would benefit the public while respecting the victim's privacy. More attention should also be paid to how to protect victims and reduce discrimination in the media. This is important because media is part of our daily lives; However, it is important to be aware of the impacts this may have on the victim.
