Crime
and Law in Media Culture
by Sheila Brown
How are crime and the law defined by media culture? Why do
we need media crime? What is the impact of cyberculture on
crime and the law? The range and scope of contemporary media
forms are vast, but what is the place of law and criminology
in relation to them? The whole of society, including crime
and criminal justice, is embraced by media culture. 'The media'
are not just a set of institutions, but constitute a way of
existence that defines crime and legal forms. In short, the
book sets out to assess how crime and the law, and our understanding
of them, are produced and reproduced, disturbed, challenged
and changed through media culture. The author organizes her
inquiry around substantive topic areas set within a theoretical
framework. From soaps to President Clinton, globalism to cyberworlds,
she provides an accessible critique of 'cultural theory' and
a theoretically coherent examination of the relationship between
crime, law, media and culture. In all, this innovative and
engaging text, containing a wide range of lively examples,
aims to open up the boundaries between the more traditional
aspects of law and criminology, and the broader concerns of
sociological and cultural studies.

DOJ's
Already Monitoring Modems - Officials revealed they are making
use of the electronic surveillance powers granted under the USA
Patriot Act recently signed into law. At a Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing, assistant attorney general Michael Chertoff said the power
to obtain information without court allowed the Justice Department
to investigate more thoroughly. He added it was helping to bring
law enforcement and intelligence investigations closer together.
Cable modem users can be monitored without the permission of a judge.
Section 211 of the act alters federal law so cable operators can
disclose subscribers' identifiable information to government agencies.
Chertoff said the government has the power to obtain court orders
for logging information from out of district ISPs.
