The restriction of legal violation scenes shown via media channels should be introduced by the related authorities due to their detrimental impacts. From my perspective, I would express my strong opposition to that suggestion as broadcasting criminal cases through multimedia sites is beneficial in terms of educating citizens and exercising caution in dealing with serious offenses.
On the one hand, the detailed description of crimes in newspapers and on TV would be disadvantageous due to the possibility that people would commit the same criminal acts and display anxiety toward the unsafe society. Regarding the former drawback, showing the wrongdoings of criminals publicly on media networks provides individuals with a clear understanding of how the infringement was conducted, from which they may learn and follow. As a consequence, there are high chances that those people, especially youngsters, would become potential offenders in the future. Not to mention that by televising a myriad of violation occurrences, mental health problems would experience a drastic increase since citizens are prone to develop anxiety toward an unsecured society.
On the other hand, broadcasting more crime scenes on social media websites can be considered a means of education and caution for people. Chief among these is that broadcasting more violations of crimes in combination with their severe punishment plays a pivotal role in eradicating the intention of future offenders. Therefore, the increasing rate of the number of to-be-culprits would be significantly reduced. In addition, by exemplifying in detail the procedure of a breach, individuals would be more well-aware of the feasibility of a criminal case. Thus, they would have a tendency to prepare for approaches to avoid being victims of wrongdoings.
In conclusion, although the display of criminal scenes should be limited due to their potential impact on increasing lawbreakers’ and citizens’ concerns, I am of the opinion that cases of violation of law should be shown on different media sites to educate and inform people about the risk of those offenses.
