The selection of dramas below is a good illustration of just how much the media sensationalises crime –
Crime drama seems to make up huge percentage of the BBC’s output – and all of the recent dramas above focus on the most horrific crimes – kidnapping and murder seem to be the most popular.

Just a quick post as I wanted something in place to introduce media and crime when we do the topic early next Academic year.
