Crimes and violent

in newspapers and TV channels for decades.
Although
there are many
people
who believe that those kinds of crimes and other related
news
should not be reported on any kind of media platform. I strongly agree that those types of
news
should be declared on television and in journals because the positive effects of doing so outweigh the drawbacks and I am going to explain why in
this
essay. On the one hand, some
people
think that declaring the
news
of a violent case could help the

from escaping his action and

For example
, sharing information about a murderer with the community could be able to gain the

.
However
, by reporting that
news
on the media and with the help of law-abiding citizens, the
suspect
will not be able to hide or run for so long.
On the other hand
, many
people
including me, are against the idea that
such
kind of
news
should be banned from being shown in the media.
For instance
, someone hit and ran on a highway in the middle of the night and there was no single eyewitness and the only clue was a broken part of the front lights of a car. In
this
case, the police will definitely need help from
people
to take part in
this
investigation.
In addition
, sharing the identity of that broken piece of front light in newspapers and on television could ring someone's bell.
However
, too many details about the person who committed the crime could have negative consequences. To conclude, from my point of perspective, broadcasting the basic information about the
suspect
on TV and in newspapers should not be restricted as it brings more advantages than disadvantages.
