From the Paper:

"In the document "The Racialization of Crime - Race, Crime and the Media: An Overview", a number of important equity issues are raised. These range from the general - such as the perpetuation of racist stereotypes in the mass media and the lack of visible minorities, and particularly Black people, in positions of executive authority in the mass media - to the particular - the "othering" of crime and its association with race and deviance in the Toronto media. This latter equity issue will be a particular focus of this analysis, as it illustrates the complexity of the discourse representing Canadian minorities as "foreign" and "deviant" and thereby justifying "deportation" as a means of supporting the "health" of the society."
