Abstract
Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) are now part of the criminal justice landscape in various parts of the world. While CoSA have received considerable media attention, it is not yet known how they are portrayed in the media. This study addressed this gap by analyzing newspaper coverage of CoSA from across the English-speaking world. Overall, it identified that representations of those convicted of sexual violence in print media accounts of CoSA differ substantially from those identified in previous scholarship. We argue therefore that the nature of CoSA as an intervention may allow for more sympathetic and humanistic representation. The findings provide a platform from which the international CoSA community can develop strategic approaches to interacting with the media.
支持与问责圈（CoSA）现已成为世界各地刑事司法领域的一部分。虽然 CoSA 受到了媒体的广泛关注，但媒体是如何描述它们的还不得而知。本研究通过分析英语国家报纸对 CoSA 的报道，填补了这一空白。总体而言，研究发现，印刷媒体对被判犯有性暴力罪的人的描述与以往学术研究中的描述大相径庭。因此，我们认为，CoSA 作为一种干预措施，其本质可能会使报道更具同情心和人文关怀。研究结果提供了一个平台，国际 CoSA 团体可以据此制定与媒体互动的战略方法。
