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
are often shown in the media
. It is a controversial issue whether the detailed information
of crimes
should be disclosed to the public. Personally, I believe that media
should be very judicious in selecting what and how many details
to report.
Those who think media
should broadcast detailed information
about crimes
may argue that it is the community's right
to know. In other words
, it is the basic right
of citizens to know the details
of crimes
. Furthermore
, the more criminal information
people receive, the more they can protect them from the crimes
. For example
, reports of the details
of scam cases may alert people from not being cheated. These are the reasons why the media
are expected to disclose more information
about criminal behaviours.
Although
I agree the public has the right
to know about what kind of delinquency took place in society, I would like to argue that media
workers should carefully pick up the relative content to release. One of the reasons is that the detailed description of crimes
may cause the children who are still at a tender age to learn about the criminal process. Thus
, the rate of juvenile delinquency may be increased. What is more, if the media
describe cruel criminal cases in great detail, these stories may cause readers great fear which is detrimental to them.
In conclusion, the media
have the duty to report crimes
details
to the public because of their civil right
and their benefits to them. However
, I strongly believe that they should report the news in a balanced way, rather than highlight the details
of the crime.Submitted by dfshum on
