Özet:This thesis analyzes the portrayal of purse-snatching incidents and ‘troubled’ lower class neighborhoods in the 2000s in the news reports in relation to the changing urban policies and urban transformation projects in the case of İstanbul. New patterns of urban segregation are discussed in relation to the changes in the penal policies and policing strategies in order to understand the logic of security that underpins both. The thesis aims to understand the dynamics of stigmatization and criminalization of certain segments of the urban poor through portrayal of crime news in the newspapers. Thus, the thesis tries to understand and analyze the relation between the ‘moral panic’ on purse-snatching in the big cities and concomitant police operations to certain lower class neighborhoods that are included within the scope of urban transformation projects. To do that, the thesis examines the news reports from the perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis and the concept of moral panic to discuss the underlying mechanisms of new patterns of urban segregation and urban transformation projects in İstanbul.
