Information The mass media is perhaps responsible for the cultivation of the phenomenon of crowd violence. As Hagger & Chatzisarantis (2005, pg.211) explain, the individual who gets pulled into a crowd has probably observed the prominence with which crowd voice has been covered in the media, and attached some meaning to it.
