Additional Description

Introduction [excerpt]

The framing of stereotypical images on television news not only harms the viewers in the short term by having a false understanding of the world they live [sic], but, in the long term, it also has the ability for all races of people to further employ hatred, resentment and violence towards other groups of people, including police officers. Furthermore, it also has the capability to create a more sustainable problem from generation to generation. Thus, this present study will attempt to examine these concepts by analyzing college students' perceptions of Black and White criminality on local TV news.
