Giving detailed descriptions of crime by newspaper and television, someone says it could make bad consequence; this kind of media should be restricted. To what extant do you agree or disagree?
In this day and age, the print media, newspaper and magazines, and the electronic media, television or radio, are awash in particular news coverage of criminal acts in our daily life. But in the meantime, controversy has arisen over whether the detailed information about crime should be in public. Some individuals declare that those descriptions will help us know criminal acts well while many others cast serious doubts on the proponents' option and refute that it will lead bad consequence. Speaking for myself, I tend to take sides with the latter view.
Obviously, detailed reports of crimes may carry great risks. In the first place, those who have criminal tendency will easily learn from criminal processes, plans and tools and as detailed reports to avoid capturing by polices. For instance, a TV program shows news about polices arrested two thieves when they tried to steal goods and money in a supermarket. The coverage describes a lot of details about time schedule of the supermarket and the location of the monitors and the process indicated polices how to capture thieves. Therefore, offenders easily commit a crime through watching them as a reference. Furthermore, to victims detailed descriptions of criminal acts are inhumane and harm them again. Therefore, for protecting victims who have suffered greatly from these crimes, banning detailed reports of criminal acts in all kinds of media is necessary.
On the other hand, crime reports may bring some benefits. To start with, a notice from media about criminal acts is an alarm to people in the city and keeps them pay attention to their belongings and safe. A good case in point is people will buy some facilities like electric alarms and video monitors for enhancing house security after watching local news about stealing and avoid going to some places where often someone was robbed reported by newspaper. Even so, detailed report of crimes makes the above methods useless. Therefore, the press should avoid publishing too many detailed descriptions of criminal acts.
Based on all the arguments offered above, I would contend that the media should inform the public about criminal acts. Despite that, the drawbacks created by detailed reports of crimes far outweigh the advantages. As a consequence, I am convinced that to avoid detailed descriptions of crimes is a duty of the media.
