The significance of media in the contemporary world can hardly be underrated. Ubiquitous and persistent, modern media shapes people’s opinions, making the latter geared towards a specific idea or concept. As a result, media defines people’s opinions concerning a range of topics, including the issue of the criminal justice policy (Reiner-Hofer, Webb, & Scheurer, 2014). Seeing that the opinion of public affects the way, in which the criminal justice policy evolves, it can be assumed that media, which affect people’s viewpoints to a considerable degree, shaping it in accordance with the concepts that are currently promoted by modern media as acceptable in the contemporary society. A closer look at the way, in which specific information is represented in news and media will reveal that the latter, in fact, use framing techniques in order to shed light on particular issues and, thus, affect people’s perception of a certain problem. Consequently, an appropriate criminal justice policy aspect is reinforced to facilitate the safety of the community. For instance, the recent concern about child abuse has resulted in a variety of news reports addressing the problem of child neglect and abuse cases (Davies, Matthews, & Reed, 2014). As a result, the current policy regarding child safety and the prevention of instances of child abuse has been reinforced significantly in my community (Gutman & Yon, 2014). Apart from getting the key postulates of criminal justice across to the target denizens of the population, media also shapes people’s idea of injustice significantly. A certain biased political event, when viewed through the prism of a particular viewpoint, becomes easily recognizable and, therefore, relatable (Suerte, 2014). As a result, the tools used for information transfer in media, often define the manner, in which the information will be provided to the target audience: “Communicative structures promote the perception of incidents of injustice by the provision of relevant information” (Rothmund, Golwitzer, Baunmer & Schmidt, 2013, p. 178). It should be noted that the media serves two functions in the specified scenario. To be more exact, it performs the function of both the tool for spreading awareness concerning a specific issue, which is child abuse in the given case, and also works as the means of convincing people that child abuse is a topical issue. Moreover, media has contributes to busting a range of myths concerning child abuse, such as the misconception that only a man and not a woman can be a child abuser (Tapia, 2014). Thus, public opinion on a particular subject matter, such as the criminal justice policy, is produced (Reiner-Hofer et al., 2014). Based on the analysis of the local criminal justice policy adopted in a specific area, one may assume that the role of media is not merely big but has consistently been getting increasingly high over the past few years. The phenomenon under analysis can be attributed partially to the fact that the introduction of modern media into the lives of ordinary people has provided more opportunities for information sharing and, therefore, the tools for framing information in a specific manner (Gutman & Yon, 2014). Additionally, the enhancement of modern media and especially some of its properties, such as the chance for inviting more people to discussing and participating in a particular social or political event, have provided legitimat
