| Authors: | Holland, Kate Easteal, Patricia Bartels, Lorana Nelson, Noni |
| Keywords: | Women;Social attitudes;Media coverage;Perpetrators |
| Year: | 2015 |
| Citation: | Vol. 51 |
| Notes: | Provides review of the literature concerning how media portrays women who kill. Finds that: female killers tend to be sensationalised regardless of the context of the circumstances; the verdict/sentencing appear to correlate with the way the media portrays the event; background variables can be ignored or minimised, background motivators are emphasized in reportage of political terrorism, and that descriptors of female killers are framed around ideas of good and bad womanhood. |
