Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, , language: English, abstract: As noted by Karmen (2013), media coverage has given victims with firsthand experiences a public platform to campaign for wider societal reforms. The Curleys was given national attention to their pain when their 10-year-old son, Jeffrey Curley, was murdered.However, media are in a profit-oriented business. While the media's coverage brought national attention to the horrific crime, at the same time the media benefited from the coverage as well. The media needs advertisers and readers. Jeffrey's murder provided just that. "Shocking stories attract readers, listeners, and viewers," Karmen noted (p. 43). "Blaring headlines, gripping accounts, colorful phrases, memorable quotes, and other forms of media hype build the huge audiences that enable media enterprises to charge advertisers high rates."Karmen went on to note that producers, editors, and reporters who seek to play up the human-interest angle may exploit the plight of persons who have suffered devastating wounds and losses, having found that crime stories attract a lot more notice if they are spiced up with a heavy dose of sex, gore, and raw emotions.As noted by Macquarrie (2009), the phone constantly rang. "Reporters from all of the Boston media outlets asked for interviews," noted Macquarrie (p. 62) of the book entitled "The Ride."The Curley's ordeal fits this mode. The media gathered outside the Curley's house when news broke about Jeffrey's disappearance. According to Macquarrie (p. 62), "The news media's interest grew exponentially. Dozens of reporters had begun gathering outside the house by midafternoon, local television trucks had secured the few remaining parking spaces near the home. Microphones and notebooks seemed to be everywhere, and Jeffrey Curley's name, as well as his Little League pictures, began appearing regularly on TV throughout Greater Boston."
Autorenporträt
My name is Louis Howell Jr., Ph.D., and I am proud to call Newark, New Jersey, my hometown while currently making my home in Orangeburg, South Carolina. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice from Claflin University, followed by a Master's degree in Criminal Justice from Boston University. I furthered my academic journey by earning a Ph.D. in Business Administration with a specialization in Criminal Justice from Northcentral University. My dissertation focused on a critical topic: "Law Enforcement Officers' Perceptions of the Influence of Reverse Bias on Their Behavior and Use of Force." I am honored to be a member of distinguished honor societies, including Alpha Phi Sigma, the National Criminal Justice Honor Society, Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society for Social Sciences, and The National Society of Leadership and Success Honor Society. My commitment to academic excellence extends to my role as charter advisor for both the Alpha Phi Sigma and Pi Gamma Mu Honor Societies at Voorhees University. With fifteen years of experience in management and eight years in law enforcement, I have had the privilege of guiding individuals from diverse backgrounds. My leadership journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to cultivate a supportive atmosphere that embraces inclusivity and solidarity. As a proud life member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, I also serve as the fraternity's advisor at Voorhees University. In my current role as an Associate Professor and Academic Program Coordinator of Criminal Justice/Pre Law Advisor, I strive to inspire the next generation of leaders. My contributions extend further as I actively participate on the Judicial Committee, the Grievance Committee, and the Academic Council at Voorhees University. I am also pursuing legal studies at Concord Law School at Purdue University Global, as I believe that continuous education is fundamental to personal and professional growth. Together, I aim to make a lasting impact not only in academia but also in the broader criminal justice field.
