| Annotation | There are plenty of studies examining how the press portrays crime, most focusing on some aspect of the criminal or the response to the event. However, few have considered the portrayal of victims, and even fewer have examined the ways the media portray older victims. This study fills this void by examining whether elder abuse coverage varies across newspapers, and how the extent of elder abuse coverage compares to that of child abuse. Results indicate that regional differences appear to exist, and child abuse receives far more coverage than does elder abuse. (RH). |
