PARRA GONZALEZ, Ana Victoria y DOMINGUEZ TORRES, Mariluz. Social Communication Media from the Perspective of the Delinquent. Revista de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.44, pp.28-54. ISSN 1012-1587.
This article presents the results of research made in the Sabaneta National Prison in Maracaibo, Zulia State. The effort attempts to research the feelings, reflections, attitudes and opinions of convicted delinquents in reference to mass-media. By using techniques and instruments characteristic of quantitative social research methodology, the experiences of convicts are recorded in the journalistic report of the criminal act in which they were involved. The analysis of the delinquents speech shows: a) the existence of an unfavorable feeling towards mass-media, b) criticism of the sensationalist treatment of news in local press, c) knowledge of the role of the mass-media in the stigmatization of criminal offenders and in the social construction of fear, d) rejection of the image that the media has promoted in reference to offenders.
Palabras clave : Mass-media; delinquents; sensationalism; social construction of fear; stereotype of delinquents.
