Presse et corps policiers : complicité et conflit

The literature abounds with studies showing the cultural gap and the hostility that exists between journalists and the police. During the 19th century in the United States, however, a complicity eminently profitable for both was rapidly established between constables and reporters for the first penny newspapers. The confrontations and mass rallies of the 60' s saw the role of journalists change to become no longer the servile and docile distributors of a particular image of crime, the criminal and police work. Journalists suddenly found themselves on the side of the “criminals”, facing the truncheons of militant police. In Montreal, a public relations service was subsequently created to restore the positive image of the police and try to reestablish the control of information. Since the newspapers were more commercial than intellectual enterprises, complicity, both official and unofficial, was quickly reestablished, giving rise to a rather doubtful relationship between journalists and the police. It was about ten years after the October crisis, when the majority of journalists identified more with the protesters than with the repressive forces, that the Quebec Police decided to restore media/police relationships to their former state. A communications service was created, which, in little more than ten years, enabled the police authorities to exercise an almost total control over information; only what served the strategy of the police was to be published. For the R.C.M.P., the honeymoon came to an end with the creation of the Keable and McDonald Commissions. In 1977, there were five policemen attached to the public relations service of the R.C.M.P. in Montreal. In 1986, a single officer remains and no longer even bears the title of official communications or public relations officer. Everywhere in Quebec, journalists seem to have traded their ability to inform for their daily ration of diverse facts, and it is still the disturbing image of crime and criminals that they blithely publish, making the media true instruments of social control

Les médias : source de victimisation

With the advent of the Bill of Rights, making the offender less accessible, journalists are falling back more than ever on the victim to feed their daily tales of victimization.The author analyses the various forms this source of victimization takes; for some victims, they are generally crimes that are spectacular and violent, and are often perpetrated against the most susceptible and vulnerable victims.Each type of media (radio, dailies, weeklies, television) represents a particular way of adding to the suffering of the victim, and each has its way of “exploiting” the victim. The victim becomes a tool of the media, both commercially and ideologically, often with the connivance of the police, who also uses the victim for its purposes.The victim is portrayed in stereotype, according to the type of victimization reported and the offender implicated, creating a guilty or innocent victim, and literally depriving him of his own account of his victimization to make it an object of curiosity that sells well.Finally, the author analyzes how the police and the media, by interaction, can exploit the victim under the pretext of prevention or crime control and even through certain phenomena such as the reporting of crime waves promoting fear of crime. The article concludes that the media should have more respect for victims of crime

Le réel fiction : les émissions « info-crime »

Sous prétexte d’action communautaire et de partenariat avec la police, les médias télévisés propagent l’image d’une criminalité qui fait peur en dramatisant les crimes les plus spectaculaires et en encourageant les méthodes répressives traditionnelles de lutte contre le crime. Paradoxalement, alors que l’idée de police communautaire vise le développement de moyens de réduire le sentiment de peur et d’insécurité dans la société, les programmes télévisés de type Crime Stoppers, qui font l’objet de cet article, misent sur une collaboration communautaire pour dépister les auteurs de crimes, amplifiant du même coup le sentiment de peur et d’insécurité. Tous les efforts de la police communautaire sont ainsi neutralisés par l’action des médias.Under the pretext of community action and partnership with police, televised media are spreading the image of alarming criminal activity by dramatizing the most spectacular crimes and encouraging traditional, repressive crime-fighting methods. Paradoxically, whereas the idea behind community policing is to develop ways to reduce fear and insecurity in society, television shows like Crime Stoppers, examined in this article, count on community help to track down criminals, thus intensifying the sense of fear and insecurity. The overall efforts of community policing are thus neutralized by media activity.Con el pretexto de una acción comunitaria y de colaboración con la policía, los medios televisivos propagan la imagen de una criminalidad que amedrenta, dramatizando los crímenes mas espectaculares, y favoreciendo los medios represivos tradicionales de lucha contra el crimen. Paradojalmente, mientras que la idea de la policía comunitaria es de buscar el cómo reducir el sentimiento de miedo y de inseguridad en la sociedad, los programas televisivos de tipo Frenos al crimen, que son el tema de este artículo, buscan una colaboración de la comunidad en la identificación de los autores de crímenes, amplificando así los sentimientos de miedo y de inseguridad. Todos los esfuerzos de la policía comunitaria son así neutralizados por la acción de los medios de comunicación

Kétoconazole et onychomycoses.

We have treated 48 cases of onychomycosis (of which 37 were caused by dermatophytes, 10 by yeasts and one by Scopulariopsis brevicaulis) with 200 mg ketoconazole daily. We obtained recovery in 65 p. 100 of the cases of onyxis caused by dermatophytes and in 80 p. 100 of the cases of onychomycosis due to Candida. The one patient presenting an infection with Scopulariopsis brevicaulis recovered in 13 months. The average duration necessary to obtain complete recovery was 6 1/2 months for onychomycosis of the hands due to dermatophytes and 12 1/2 months for those of the feet. Perionyxis due to Candida needed 2 months of treatment with this drug, however 6 months of treatment were necessary to obtain recovery for onycholysis due to Candida. Biological tests remained normal and the side-effects were minimal and essentially gastrointestinal in our study. Ketoconazole is an effective treatment for onychomycosis: it is active against the different mycotic agents infecting nails and well tolerated by the patient. Several minor effects such as itching, nausea, headache and more serious reactions such as erythrodermia and hepatitis have been reported. Regular control and biological tests are therefore necessary. Patients with other diseases should avoid the use of ketoconazole for treatment of onychomycosis.English AbstractJournal ArticleSCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
