This book explains the Canadian media`s current moral panic, its affiliations with information/political systems, understandings of reader viewers, its alliances with corporate Canada, and its ability to construct and frame debates about youth crime. The reality of youth crime is presented in stark contrast to the collective perception that youth crime is expanding at an alarming rate, and a discussion of the larger structural forces that benefit those who have access to power and indict those who live on the margins of political, social, and economic cultures is revealed.
