Abstract:

This study addresses the prospects of crime and the building and representative discussions in the news of crime. The 19th century crime debate, where the individual pathology thought focused on physical characteristics, biological heritage and mental illnesses is determining, first appeared in the field of sociology in the early 20th century. This evolution in the crime debate would determine the framework for the production of criminal opinion in the academy until the 1970s. Instead of creating a sociological perspective, the discussions that remain within the limits of the positivist imagination were focused on discovering the causes of crime through the individual. This paradigm has been drawn up since the 1960s, and with the 1970s social-economic systemic criticism and sociological analysis and proposals have emerged. In the discussions intersecting with critical media studies based on the thesis of the "major ideology", the study of the social construction processes and forms of representation of crime is subject to.
