Some people think that the detailed criminal description in newspapers and on TV has bad influences, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

. In my opinion, while illustrating criminal descriptions can make
people
 who have bad intentions face the sentence, it can cause public concern in society. Giving detailed
information
 about criminals can make individuals, who are about to commit a
crime
, rethink what they are going to do. To be more specific, if the government presents
crime
 news along with punishment policies,
this
 will make possible criminals back down. There was a guy who broke into a jewellery store in a Vietnam province and was arrested, his
crime
 was detailed on TV.
This
 kind of
information
 is one of the solutions to reduce
crime
 rates in the future and help the government control the situation better. Albeit conceding the merits of showing in-depth
crime
 stories in the
media
, it will increase public apprehension about national security. When
people
 are more and more concerned about the security in their area, social interaction may become more reluctant because
people
 are beware of others around them. There was a horrific murder that once caused a stir in society, in which the culprit is an underage boy who killed the whole neighbour's family. Until now, his
crime
 is like a horror movie because of his merciless acts and
people
 who live nearby the house of murder are very scared that someday similar things could happen again. In conclusion, whereas the prevalence of cruel crimes in the

 culprits, it can raise public concern in society. In my point of view,
this
 sort of

 should be limited to the
media
 in order to decrease its negative effect on viewers.
