Abstract
I begin this paper with a very Australian media parable about a man called I will call X. This story illustrates my theme of how the media can manipulate, or at least attempt to manipulate public opinion on crime and criminal justice matters. I then move to a discussion on the courts and the media, and finally some suggestions on what can be done to alleviate the current problems.
