%X crime provides the news media with headlines on a silver platter and is an inexhaustible source of reporting to serve up to the public. to a certain degree, the consistency across media, consensus among the reporters, the volume of news coverage, and the £¿massaging£¿ of the events into a form that is palatable to the public quickly generates a series of £¿waves£¿ or hypes of reporting. this is a phenomenon that has been neither placed into its sociological setting, nor studied with regard to its impact on that setting. this article examines the way in which the £¿carcavelos mugging of 2005£¿ conforms to the media hype model advanced by peter vasterman, and goes a step further by suggesting that when the tide of news enjoys widespread consensus, it is rare that the news coverage includes elements that go £¿against the tide£¿.
