{"product_id":"missing-women-missing-news-david-hugill-9781552663776","title":"Missing Women, Missing News: Covering Crisis in Vancouver`s Downtown Eastside","description":"The arrest and trial of Robert Pickton--a man charged with murdering 26 prostitutes in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside--is at the center of this study of the behavior of police officers and news reporters when a crime involves poor or marginalized victims. The analysis asks \u003ci\u003eWhat made it possible for so many women to simply disappear from a densely populated urban neighborhood without provoking an aggressive response by the state?\u003c\/i\u003e For answers, the book compares the Vancouver murders to the disappearance of a single teenager in Toronto--a tragic but isolated incident--that marshaled vigorous police work and extensive media coverage. Pointing to the broad social forces that drove this unequal treatment, the discussion calls for changes in the way the media covers police work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hugill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552663779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552663776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"David Hugill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985119215871,"sku":"9781552663776","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_276f60ed-e614-45d8-9932-ef1da436e990.jpg?v=1683275657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/missing-women-missing-news-david-hugill-9781552663776","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
