Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: A survey of Los Angeles county adult residents was undertaken to determine whether the overrepresentation of Blacks as criminals, as found in prior studies, has a demonstrable effect on Whites’ perception of African Americans and crime. After controlling for a number of factors, results revealed that local news exposure, attention to crime news, and trust in the accuracy of television news was positively related to concern about crime. In addition, higher network news exposure and more trust in television news’ accuracy led to endorsement of the perception of Blacks as intimidating. Finally, results revealed that heavier consumption of Blacks’ overrepresentation as criminals on local television news and attention to crime news are positively related to the perception of Blacks as violent. The theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
