Missing white woman syndrome

Missing white woman syndrome is a term used by some social scientists, as well as media commentators, to denote disproportionate media coverage, especially on television, of missing-person cases toward white women and girls as compared to cases involving male subjects or women of color. Proponents of this notion posit that it encompasses supposed disproportionate media attention to female subjects who are young, attractive, white, and upper middle class.
