Crime & Deviance Exemplars

Outline two ways in which gender may influence the risk of being a victim of crime. (4 Marks)
Females are more often at risk of domestic violence since they are financially dependent on their partner and for transgender people they are more likely to be victims of violence due to transphobia.

Applying material from Item B and your knowledge, evaluate sociological contributions to our understanding of the relationship between crime and the media. (30 Marks) 

Item B: Much media output is devoted to crime but the media offer a distorted portrayal of crime and criminals. The media are also often seen as causing crime, for example by creating a sense of relative deprivation or causing moral panics. The new media also provide opportunities both for committing crime and for policing it.
