在上个世纪，有组织犯罪现象与种族有着千丝万缕的联系；“黑手党”电影和文化活动的流行加剧了这一点。然而，围绕“种族”和有组织犯罪之间联系的研究，特别是媒体对这种关系的描述，严重有限。利用主题分析，2000年至2010年间，悉尼两大报纸（《每日电讯报》和《悉尼先驱晨报》）和墨尔本（《时代报》和《太阳先驱报》）刊登了1705篇文章。从抽样文章中得出的主要主题与学术文献和已发表的政府报告进行了比较。在抽样的文章中，只有11%（183篇）提到了“种族”群体参与有组织的犯罪行为。该研究的结果表明，尽管抽样的报纸并没有延续与“黑手党神话”（即基于“种族”的犯罪组织的想法）相关的刻板印象，但在抽样的文章中仍然可以找到神话的元素。
In the last century, the phenomenon of organised crime has become inextricably linked with ethnicity; which has been accentuated by the popularity of ‘Mafia’ films and cultural events. However, research surrounding the link between ‘ethnicity’ and organised crime, especially the media’s depiction of this relationship, is severely limited. Utilising a thematic analysis, 1705 articles were examined from the two major newspapers in Sydney (The Daily Telegraph and The Sydney Morning Herald) and Melbourne (The Age and The Sun Herald) between 2000 and 2010. The major themes drawn from the sampled articles were compared with the scholarly literature and published government reports. Of the sampled articles, only 11 % (or 183 articles) mention the involvement of an ‘ethnic’ group in organised criminal behaviour. The findings from the study suggest that although the sampled newspapers do not perpetuate the stereotypes associated with the ‘Mafia myth’ (i.e., the idea of ‘ethnically’ based criminal organisations), elements of the myth could still be found in the sampled articles.
