The Media Influences Public Attitude

Therefore, when an editor advertises a story about mental health issues, we need to comply with the "guidelines" to help minimize mental health misunderstandings and to reduce current stigma. If the media does not respond to it, it is an important aspect for protecting public rights, so appropriate action will be taken. Since the story of soap opera includes stories about daily life of ordinary people, soap opera seen in the public everyday is the best way to describe psychiatric disorders.

In short, the majority of citizens' perceptions of crime and justice are thought to be formed by consumption of media. Therefore, we must understand how media influences public attitudes. The data set has restrictions and the findings are weak, but looking at the crime show on a regular basis is related to fear of crime. However, the viewing of crime programs is irrelevant to punitive attitudes and the effectiveness of the police, and the viewing time of television and sources of criminal news are irrelevant to crime, punitive attitude, or police effectiveness. However, further research is needed to judge the relationship between media consumption and attitudes towards crime and justice.

People's understanding of crime and justice comes mainly from the media. In this article we will explore the impact of media consumption on fear crime, punishment attitude, and police effectiveness. This research contributes to the literature by expanding knowledge about the relationship between crime fear and media consumption. The research also helped to conduct limited research on the influence of the media on punitive attitudes, while providing a very needed analysis of the relationship between media consumption and police satisfaction. Using OLS regression, the results indicate that respondents who regularly watch the crime drama are more likely to be afraid of the crime. However, this relationship is weak. In addition, the results show that gender, education, income, age, problems of neighboring residents and the effectiveness of police are statistically related to fear of crime.
