| Abstract: | The paper investigates the correlation between how crime is reported in the media and how the public perceives it. In 1994 52 percent of the American public regarded crime as the most important problem facing the United States. To examine the phenomenon, the authors analyzed the effects of three network television news predictor variables and two FBI predictor variables to determine what statistically accounted for the high percentage. |
