Presidential rhetoric on crime and public opinion
Article Abstract:
Researchers attempt to discover whether presidents are able to manipulate public opinion of crime by increasing the attention, public discourse, and time given to issues of crime. An increase in high-profile presidential speeches concerning crime was found to increase both the public concern for crime and the implementation of public policy regarding crime. Historically, this influence has allowed presidents to inflate the public's irrational fear of crime for political gain even while general crime rates decline.
