abstract="Several studies show media messages activate or exacerbate racial stereotypes. This analysis, however, may be the first to examine which types of information--those that directly contradict media messages (i.e., crime-related) or general news (i.e., non-crime-related)--are most effective in abating stereotypes. Its findings suggest fear of crime is becoming more a human fear, not just a racial one. Furthermore, it suggests that for younger Americans, the concomitant dyad of the black criminal stereotype--race and crime--is fueled more by crime than by race.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
