The research investigates the mechanisms of discourse representation of the social ill-being in the local media. Meaning construction is studied in the aspect of frame structures of varying conceptual complexity. Contextual, cognitive-discursive and frame analyses are employed to identify how a problem is diagnosed, which social actor is assigned responsibility, and how it is evaluated in the British media The Nottingham Post. The notion of LAW and ORDER macroframe is introduced to denote a complex cognitive construct that directs readers&amp;rsquo; attention to the theme within which the life of the city is discussed. It is argued that LAW and ORDER macroframe consists of frames and slots that focus on different offences. Those include knife crimes, sexual offences, drug offences, hate crime, drink driving, illegal activity, anti-social behaviour. The results of the research might present interest for urban studies, media linguistics, and discourse studies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article focuses on framing law and order as an urban problem.
