摘要

通过档案研究和交叉主题分析，本文考察了21世纪初轰动一时的《捕捉捕食者》中的三个关键情节，并将它们置于犯罪媒体和新闻文学之中。本文分析了一个电视节目的新闻诚信和征服妇女和女孩的主题，该节目声称用前者来阻止后者。基于上述分析，《捕捉捕食者》从事法医新闻报道，其表现为将妇女和女孩作为诱饵，声称对妇女和女孩的身体拥有所有权，在报道中缺乏细微差别，以及在新闻实践中采取自由。最后，这篇论文展示了《捕捉捕食者》是如何通过创造儿童色情作品，声称要与之斗争，并美化惩罚，助长了围绕儿童剥削的持续的道德恐慌，从而成为一场治安维持主义的奇观。

“This is what a 13-year old girl looks like”: A feminist analysis of To Catch a Predator

Through archival research and an intersectional thematic analysis, this paper examines three key episodes of early-2000s sensation To Catch a Predator and situates them within crime media and journalism literature. The paper analyzes themes of journalistic integrity and the subjugation of women and girls by a television program that claimed to use the former to stop the latter. Based on the analysis, To Catch a Predator engages in forensic journalism as demonstrated by the treatment of women and girls as bait, claims of ownership over women and girls’ bodies, lack of nuance in reporting, and the liberties taken in their journalistic practices. Ultimately, this paper shows how To Catch a Predator acts as a spectacle of vigilantism, by creating the child pornography it claims to fight and by glorifying punishment, contributing to the ongoing moral panic around child exploitation.
