摘要：This paper aims to theoretically discuss the news construction on crime and violence, from perspectives drawn from social communication, critical criminology and social sciences. The works discussed intersect at various times to observe and contribute to, for example, the construction of meaning related to the ideas of social control, risk of victimization by violence and insecurity, and problematize the issue of coercive forces as primary defining news on violence and the media as an executive agency of the penal system, capable of moving speeches of violence, a concept of Roberto Da Matta, who divides them into two types: classical and common sense, both being present in the news media, although fulfilling different roles. This text is part of larger monograph, whose title Journalism, Risk and Insecurity: An analysis of discourses on illicit drugs in the newspaper Zero Hora and Correio do Povo.
