      title = {A victim community : stigma and the media legacy of  high-profile crime /},
      abstract = {Although historically ignored, crime victims are now very  firmly on the map. For politicians, newspapers, the media  and the public at large, criminal injury and loss are a  source of constant concern and anxiety. Criminologists and  media analysts have studied much of this concern in recent  years but what has not been investigated is how communities  experience high profile crimes and the media intrusion that  inevitably follows. This book seeks to address this gap by  exploring how the communities of Soham and Dunblane, that  witnessed high profile crimes, lived with the tragic events  at the time and the attention of the worlds media  afterwards. Based on a two-year qualitative study of these  communities, this book looks beneath the surface of the  relationships, dilemmas and unexpected triumphs of  communities struggling to come to terms with the most  harrowing of events, within the glare of the media  spotlight. Combining empirical observations with media  analysis and social theory, this book offers something new  to the criminological audience: the concept of the victim  community.
