It is said that showing detailed descriptions of crimes on mass media, particularly in newspapers and on TV which might lead serious consequences, so these programs should be restricted on social media. I firmly agree with that this sort of programs would bring more drawback than benefit.
It is undeniable why giving detailed descriptions of people committing a crime in newspapers and on television allows individuals protect themselves from criminals. In fact, people perceive how the criminals work, therefore, local and national authorities have to raise their awareness in their living areas. For example, citizens can be able realize the visual of that criminal by watching media coverage in order to avoid or prevent themselves from offenders.
On the other hand, although people might recognize the committing process of criminals through videos or pictures, I believe that it would remain several drawbacks behind information. The first reason is that giving graphic descriptions of crimes on TV or newspapers which makes individuals feel publicity stunt. As consequences, the widespread dissemination of detailed information about crime which makes people tend to live in full of fear and anxiety. For example, when people watch modus operandi criminals several times that action might be stick deeply in their minds which lead them stay negatively. Furthermore, access to comprehensive portrayals of crime which increases adverse stereotypes in society. The number of people knowing the criminals from media coverage also makes the convicts live in discrimination of people around them. As a result, they might continue to commit crime after being punished.
In conclusion, based on distribution of detailed crime information in newspapers or on television can help people raise awareness to public safety. However, it also brings some adverse impact on many people.
