Media plays a very important part in shaping public perceptions of crime (Levinsen & Wien, 2011). Media representations of crime are distorted, overrepresented and particular crimes are portrayed extensively, however they may be an infrequent event (Ditton & Duffy, 1983; Jerrin & Fields, 1994; Han Er, 2014).

The Scottish lake Loch Ness has been talked about for centuries and under 1900s the place became famous as the home of the mysterious long-necked creatures.
