By highlighting children’s development and perceptions of safety, Rogers further broadened and reinforced the applicability of Yoon’s murder as a signal crime. The salience of Yoon’s murder as a signal crime is noteworthy because elite advocates gave it attention at the local and national levels.

Although certain circumstances in Sharma’s murder could have potentially prompted discussion of social problems, Sharma’s murder was not framed as a signal crime. Joshi’s Hindustan Times story included three pieces of information on which advocates could have framed a signal crime. The first issue was gangs, “His [Sharma’s] father, Sharvan Sharma, told Hindustan Times on Tuesday that Deepak was killed by a gang for money.” For some other gang-related murders,[30] advocates used the opportunity to discuss social problems that were associated with gangs such as violence, lack of employment opportunities, and recruitment of young African American men. Neither Sharma’s father nor anyone else elaborated on gangs.[31]

The international transportation of corpses was the second issue,

Sharvan, a marginal farmer, called up Deepak’s employer [in Indianapolis], a Punjabi, who confirmed the shooting and assured help in flying the body to India. Sharvan said he did not know how to contact the U.S. police, and appealed to the Indian authorities to help the family get the body back for the last rites.[32]
