As i have already stated in my first post dedicated to Critical Research, i am going to be looking at the topic of young people involved in knife crime under the heading of Crime And The Media.
For my research, i plan to look at many newspaper articles in both tabloid and broadsheet newspapers to see how they differ in reporting the news and how they may portray the victims and the criminals. When looking at the newspapers, i will also be looking out for how the victims are introduced with the statement 'the victims are always shown as innocent' fresh in my mind. Using the articles, i will try to either support or give evidence against this statement.
I still don't know what i can do for an experiment, however i will use my own research in the project to add debate and facts to it. I will devise a survey to be taken by a certain amount of teenagers and young people ranging in age regarding their thoughts on the issue, whether they know anyone who carries a knife or if they infact do carry one themself and what they think is causing the increase.
I will act on my experiment when the results for what the teenagers think the cause for the rise of knife crime may be.
Some drafted questions have been produced to consider within the project to answer such as;
- Does the media advertising the knife crime affect the increase in teenagers carrying and using knives?
- Has knife crime in young people really increased or is it just in the limelight now for the media to comment more on?
- What is causing young people to kill others out of no respect for their life?
