TY - JOUR PY - 1961// TI - The Crime of Crime Reporting JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Isaacs, N. E. SP - 312 EP - 320 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - The American people have never adequately understood the extent to which crime causes a waste of time, money, and human life. The reason for this inadequate understanding is the news papers' failure to supply the people with basic information. Sensationalism, uncritical use of "handout" material, misinforma tion and suppression of information, lack of independent research --all of these constitute the "crime" of crime reporting.
