Some people think that media should not report detail of crimes to the public. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, detailed descriptions of crimes could be seen

the media frequently. It is a highly debatable issue whether media should broadcast smallest details of a crime to the masses or not. Personally, I think that media should be very judicious in selecting what to report and how much to report.
Firstly
, the details of crimes make a misleading statement to the children and adolescents who are curious about the process of committing crimes, and are likely to copy the criminal actions blindly.
Thus
, the rate of juvenile delinquency may sharply increase due to the influence of

.
Furthermore
, the detailed description does not show enough respects to the victims and their family.
For example
, if any murder or robbery has taken place in someone’s house,
then
if it
is shown

in detail on TV, the whole privacy of those people is lost.
Finally
, some details of crimes are too cruel and make people feel terrified about their surroundings, some might even develop a distrust towards governments, which would impair social security and stability.
On the other hand
, the opponents claim that as many details as possible should be published point out the demand for

. Many members of the public believe that the more

they have, the better they can protect themselves from criminals. Those who believe in the maximum possible freedom of

think that it is the people’s right to be told as much as possible.
However
