Trial by Fire: Media Constructions of Corporate Deviance, Gray Cavender, Aogan Mulcahy
Answer two questions:
1. List and discuss the four recurring elements of the crime news frame according to Cavender and Mulcahy. Why does this news frame better fit stories of street crime than corporate white collar
narratives.
2. In Lyon-Callo’s study, how do routine homeless shelter practices “produce” homeless subjects. Be sure to frame your answer around the medicalization of homelessness and social inequality (i.e.,
resulting from drugs, alcohol, or social trauma).
