First published:

Summary

Information technology has changed the way we think about and visualize deviant behavior.

The entertainment-oriented mass media, especially local television newscasts, frequently offer dramatic, diverting, enticing reports about deviance. One of the major contributions of the mass media to the study of deviance and crime is in familiarizing audiences with rare behaviors and scenarios.
