Is interested in the question if observed violence in media leads to aggression.  As such how, and what social control should be applied to stop this from happening. 

How media constructs reality- and how this is used to achieve a specific agenda via FRAMING •Conflict Frame – groups, individuals, nations, institutions •Human Interest Frame – human life stories, emotions •Economic Consequences Frame  - material costs and benefits

Stuart Hall- media is not representative, but controlled by powerful.  The frames that those in power create are absorbed into institutions. As such they become official bias- and they cause those framed to become the frame

Convergence: media companies owning multiple forms of media Conglomeration:  media companies buying out other companies *** leads to concentration (monopolies)

Deviant behavior is learned

Learned from intimate partners

Learn the motives and techniques to crime

Become criminal if MORE criminal definitions for your actions then none criminal 

Criminals justify their behavior

•Denial of Responsibility- say X did not know

•Denial of Injury- Saying no X was hurt

•Denial of Victim:  saying that X deserved what he got- as he sees self as fixing a wrong

•Condemning of Condemners: every one is doing it, why picking on me

•Appealing to higher loyalties: You are not wrong- but my view is more correct in this case

We through behaviorism: are conditioned to act toward x, based of reward and punishment- known as Differantial reinforcement   

We imitate the behaviors we see from others- which is learned from the created Definitions and since there is more of them that make x criminal (Differental assosiation) that is what you learn

In real life, their is limits to what society sees and fears of police vs what it can do irl 

The goal of society should be to intergrate social control into everyday tasks- so that it is IMPOSSIBLE to commit a crime because social control is everywhere 

As such we should shift the role of policing to the general community
