In some countries, some criminal trials in law courts are shown on TV so public can watch. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages to do so and give your opinion.
In many nations, it is very common that criminal
trials
to be shown on public TV channels. From my perspective, this
phenomenon could be both positive and negative. The shows can provide education to citizens and help them to understand the laws. However
, it may not be an appropriate show
for children
since it may show
crime scenes. Both sides have their own merits, which will be outlined below.
On one hand, the policy to show
criminal trials
gives advantages to the city since it will allow a citizen
to learn about legal and illegal activities. Therefore
, it can help to prevent similar crimes to be conducted. Moreover
, it also
can help citizen
to understand the flow of criminal trials
. For example
, what is the first thing that the police need to do after arresting a potential criminal? Thus
, citizen
understands how to stand up for themselves if any misconduct in criminal trials
ever happens to them. All this
knowledge is very important for the citizen
to understand their country's laws since most of the time schools won't teach anything related to criminal laws.
On the other hand
, the timing of the criminal trials
shows need to be at everyone's attention. Criminal trials
sometimes show
how the criminal happened, shows the victim's condition, and the situation at the crime scene. These images are very disturbing. Children
should not watch any of these scenes since they may cause trauma. For example
, a trial for a convicted murderer may show
the image of blood and weapons. Next,
children
may not fully understand what is going on in the trials
and whether it is a lawful action or not. Consequently
, children
may think it is an appropriate action and follow the steps blindly.
In conclusion, I believe that showing criminal trials
is important and can be shown on public TV. However
, it should be aired during children
's bedtime. Therefore
, children
are not exposed to the show
