This study explores representations of crime by boys and young men in Canadian news media between 1991 and 2014. We find that youth crime is gendered male, but the link between youth crime and masculinity is alternately normalized, problematized, and obscured. Media discourses simultaneously reproduce and obscure gender and racial assumptions, and patterns of social inequality, as marginalized young men are depicted as dangerous to the very social fabric of Canadian society.
