The (imaginary) crime rate on television fuels people’s fear of crime more than real-life statistics do, according to a new study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center that compared violence on television from the 1970s-2010 to real-life crime data. Seeing crime on TV didn’t make people think there was more violence in their neighborhood, Dan Romer, co-author of the study and an associate director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center told Deadline, but "by seeing it dramatized, it makes people more afraid of whatever crime there is."
Jay Leno landed the 17th annual Mark Twain Prize for American humor, to be presented at a gala at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC on October 19.

Ceremony airs on PBS Sunday, November 23.

The company’s Coast Guard Cape Disappointment/Pacific Northwest starts the second half of its premiere season on The Weather Channel Monday, June 23 at 9p.
