It is generally acknowledged that the kind of
information
 we see on television and in newspapers,
such
 as
crimes
, has an underlying negative effect on society.
Although
information
 like
this
 has to be brought to
people
 for general awareness, I am absolutely convinced that
this
 kind of
information
 should be restricted in the
media
. We will delve deeper into the reasons for
this
 in
this
 essay.
First
 of all, it is true that
people
 should be made aware of the happenings in their community, especially if they pose danger to society.
However
, televising these kinds of
crimes
, brutality, and violence can be detrimental to the future of society. The reason for
this
 is that there are other audiences that will tend to follow and imitate what they see in the
media
, especially for the minor age groups. They will gain an idea and knowledge as to how
this
unfavorable

 event can happen.
Thus
, the
media
 should restrict what they broadcast. They only have to promote awareness but not promote violence by giving
people
 detailed crime scenes.
Moreover
, in the research study conducted, it has been found that the

people
's knowledge of these kinds of
crimes
, the lower the crime rates in the country.
For instance
, in some countries, they only publish general
information
 about the crime but do not give thorough or detailed
information
.
However
, their
media
 focuses more on the positive side of their country's happenings. By doing
this
, their
people
 tend to focus more on the brighter side.
Thus
,
people
 are living their lives with less fear, less chaos, and more positivity, but they are made aware. In conclusion, I strongly agree that broadcasting detailed
information
 about

 events and
crimes
 should be limited and restricted to the public. It should be published to promote
people
's awareness only, but not to the extent of educating
people
 about criminality.
