Discursive modes related to crimes and the handling of ethnic data in the media
A bűncselekményekkel kapcsolatos beszédmódok és az etnikai adatok kezelése a médiában
The authors examine media reports on crimes related to members of the Roma community and whether the media adheres to or departs from the attitudes and practice of the members of the Hungarian law enforcement in relation to this issue. Based on several examples from related news reports, the authors draw a direct parallel to the dissatisfactory approach of the law enforcement to such crimes and their treatment of ethnic data. Regarding crimes involving violence against women, the article asserts that those cases where the victims are from the dominant ethnic group are more attractive to the media.
