In many countries, criminal trials in law courts are being shown on television for the general public. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In many parts of the world, the trend of on-airing criminal prosecutions for people is blossoming at a very rapid pace. I believe it to be extremely disadvantageous not only in terms of affecting the delinquent's

family, but

also

in terms of raising questions on the criminal justice system.

This

essay will explore how these two mega-disadvantages have the potential to outshine any benefits. Justice court proceedings on television bring forth a lot of mega-drawbacks.

Firstly

,

this

new trend has a deep impact on the lives of the criminal's kith and kin due to the stigma associated with them. As their children and wife approach to any organization, they face a lot of trouble and they are recognized as relatives of criminals. They are unable to secure a better position in schools and offices.

fact can be better explained with an example of a report related to broadcasting prosecution, which revealed that the recent surge in bullying of their families on

on TV.

benefit is extremely rare and elusive because a few people learn from real-life examples. To sum up, from the above discussion, it can be concluded that the drawbacks of showing trials on

in terms of affecting the credibility of their family members and developing mistrust on courts overshadow the minor advantage related to educating viewers.
