Many
people
 believe that publishing and telecasting the
news
 about unlawful acts and other related facts on print and digital media respectively would have unpleasant repercussions.
Additionally
,
such
 details need to be constricted from display in media.
However
, I partially disagree,
this
news
 should not be completely banned,
instead
, I believe some guidelines need to be imposed on how the media houses can publish
such
 information.
Firstly
, the public must be made aware of the fact about any instances of felonies happening around them so that could help to be extra cautious and be prepared for
such
 circumstances. While

 they may not need to know the intricate details of the crime scene, they prefer to understand what happened and how it could have been avoided.
For instance
, a recent robbery that happened in my village did not go much into the public and
people
 were not aware as there is no
such
 widespread
news
. The same gang again did a series of robberies in the surrounding villages and in one of them, they had to kill a family owing to the fact that they did not cooperate with the gang.
Hence
, it is really important that
people
 get educated about
such
 acts so that they can counter
such
 situations. Another point is, while it is significant for everyone to know about these felonies, it is equally important to understand that the common public is not the only consumer of the content. Few
people
 with wrong intentions could potentially utilize these ideas and
then
 commit similar crimes.
For example
, there was an acid attack incident on a girl by three boys as the girl did not accept the love proposal in the southern part of India. Once the
news
 went public, within a few years, there were at least hundreds of similar incidents that happened across the nation .
Therefore
, concerned authorities need to impose certain restrictions and guidelines on the content to be shown. To conclude,
people
 must not be kept away from knowing any kind of unlawful acts as that would help them to stay alert.
However
, the details need to be confined and not too detailed.
