- Abstract
The impact of mass media on the public has continued to increase since the day they first appeared. Technological developments, especially communication tools, have accelerated and the integrated development of Internet and mobile communication tools has transformed the world into a global village. Now, individuals can access all kinds of visual, written and auditory information instantly. Easy access, a large audience, data collection and rapid flow of information that came out after the development of mass media have attracted the attention of criminals and criminal organizations. Mass communication has become indispensable for criminal organizations, especially terrorist organizations. Parallel to this, law enforcement organizations have started to use mass media in the fight against crime. Years of experience have shown that crime cannot be prevented by the efforts of law enforcement alone. It is clear that the fight against crime can be carried out with the people, not against them. Informing the public, raising awareness and getting the support of the public are an important element of the fight against crime. One of the most important tools for law enforcement is the mass media. The implementation of crime prevention strategies through mass media should not be seen as the duty of law enforcement alone, but the support of the state and private stakeholders should be involved in the process. The aim of this article is to reveal mass communication's role in the fight against crime and contribute to crime prevention in the scope of theoretical perspective. In the scope of the study, it has been concluded that mass communication tools can be play a significant role in crime on a theoretical perspective. Therefore, to fight against crime effectively, law enforcement must develop a mass media strategy. In addition, law enforcement has been benefitted from different application of mass media and they should diversify it.
