Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing of the article emphasizes the victim's innocence and the suspect's culpability. The headline, mentioning the suspect's prior criminal record and the retaliatory explosions, influences the reader's perception before they engage with the details of the case. The repeated use of phrases like "fatale aanrijding" and descriptions of the suspect's actions strongly suggest premeditation and malice. This strong emphasis on the victim's suffering and the suspect's past actions might unintentionally sway the reader towards a particular interpretation.
Language Bias
The article uses strong emotional language, particularly in the descriptions of the incident and the victim's death. Words and phrases such as "buitensporig" (excessive), "volle snelheid" (full speed), "ernstige verwondingen" (serious injuries), and descriptions of the suspect running over the victim multiple times contribute to a highly charged tone. While aiming to convey the gravity of the situation, this language might inadvertently bias the reader against the suspect. More neutral descriptions could enhance objectivity. For example, instead of "volle snelheid", "high speed" or "at a significant speed" could be used.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses heavily on the actions and statements of the victim's advocates and the suspect's prior criminal record. It mentions that three other men were arrested but released, but provides no details about their involvement or the reasons for their release. This omission limits the reader's understanding of the full context of the event. The article also omits details about the nature of the argument that preceded the incident, only mentioning it briefly. While space constraints might explain some omissions, more context about the other individuals involved would enhance the completeness of the report.
False Dichotomy
The article presents a somewhat simplistic narrative of victim versus perpetrator, without exploring any potential complexities or mitigating circumstances. While the suspect's actions are clearly reprehensible, a more nuanced exploration of the events leading up to the incident and the roles of others involved might be beneficial.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article describes a hit-and-run incident resulting in death, along with subsequent acts of violence (explosions). This demonstrates a failure of law enforcement to prevent violent crime and maintain peace and justice. The acts of violence and the legal proceedings following the incident directly relate to the lack of peace, justice, and strong institutions.
