In this article Lizzie Seal provides a sociological discussion of the reactions, especially in the media, to women who have been charged with murder. The article focuses on the murder of language student Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007.
Seal draws attention to various aspects of this case, showing why it lent itself to often sensationalist reporting by the media. You should note the importance of ‘gender regulation’ and ‘cultural and social change’ to this discussion, and make sure you understand the concept of ‘double deviance’.
