As has often been noted, one of the strengths of framing research has been to bridge several research areas in mass communication, such as the origin, journalistic production, content, and effects of news. This article attempts to provide an overview and a review of the cross-disciplinary discourse about framing.

Based on a definition of frames and framing that can be applied across all stages of the framing process, the design and the methods of an extensive study about a campaign on the naturalization of immigrants are introduced. The merits and insights of such an approach are discussed.

"Psychological Criminology explores what is it about individuals and their experiences that cause them to commit crime and or to become criminal. Fully updated to include the latest theories and research, this new edition provides comprehensive coverage of psychological theories of crime and criminality. It arranges theories in temporal sequence, from distal to proximal causes of crime, and is organised under three key headings: theories that focus on factors present at birth (human nature, heredity); theories that focus on factors that influence the offender over the lifespan (learning and development); theories that focus on factors present at the crime scene. The book emphasizes the connections among the different approaches, and demonstrates how, taken together rather than as rival explanations, they provide a more complete picture of crime and criminality.
