It is a phenomenon that whether court trails should open to the public through television broadcasting or not is in heated debt. My opinions towards
this
issue are listed as follows.
Admittedly, there are some advantages of showing criminal trials on TV. Linking Words
To begin
with, the trial broadcasting forces the transparency of the judicial system, guaranteeing impartial law enforcement and receiving supervision from all works of life. Linking Words
For example
, if the general public enjoy the right to know, it would greatly reduce the risk of corrupt trades hidden under the court. Linking Words
Besides
, the broadcast of criminals actually provides informative legal knowledge for the general public to raise awareness and protect their safety and properties in reality. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is considered to be an effective precaution to curb the increasing crime rate.

Nevertheless
, the downsides of Linking Words
this
practice are more hazardous. Linking Words
This
act interrupts programs and Linking Words
thus
spoils dwellers' enjoyment when they watch TV to entertain. Sometimes people would feel uncomfortable and shocked, disgusted by those bloody or violent details of some crimes. Linking Words
However
, the demonstration not only threatens the public, but Linking Words
also
acts as scripts for potential perpetrators, who probably follow what they saw from TV as a bible when commit a crime. Another concern is that filming trials squeeze limited media resources, which could have been used for reporting more significant and urgent social issues. Linking Words
In addition
, an array of victims and offenders oppose to the conduct of publicity because their privacy and dignity would be infringed inevitably to some extent.
In conclusion, the defects of filming court trials outweigh the beneficial part. Maybe an optimal reaction to Linking Words
this
problem is to take a critical attitude towards both sides, which means, providing that broadcasting is in the necessity, protective measures upon people must be taken into account in advance.Linking Words
