Cross-national crime studies are often plagued with conceptualization issues. Specifically, some countries may define certain acts of violence as crimes, whereas others may perceive these acts as justifiable or culturally prescribed. This is especially the case with the crime of genocide, which the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948 defines "as any of a number of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group." Despite this legal definition, countries may label a crisis as genocide, civil war, or another type of conflict. Since the printed mainstream media reflects and shapes the public perception of international conflicts, this research employs content analysis and quantitative methodology in examining published accounts of the conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan over the last five years. Using articles from newspapers in the United States, Great Britain, and Qatar, we will examine the extent to which the term genocide is used to illustrate this conflict within the mainstream media from these three different countries. Empirical results will be presented. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
