Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

Different news about the criminal offensives was daily published in media. There are some opinions, that this kind of news must be restricted to show and share it publicily, because, it serves as a source of new criminal actions. I fully agreee with this statement and I am going to explain the reason in this essay.

In some reason, the publishing criminal news in media can help to cope with big criminal actions of existing criminals. By publishing this news and making them open to public, people gain information about criminals and about their hallmark sooner. This information is useful for police to find quickly criminals before they can make other heavy offensives. As some residents may see and identify these criminals in somewhere or detect something suspicious in their actions. After informing this information to police, military can load their forces on some specific region to find possible criminals faster.

However, I think this kind of news, despite that can be useful for police to find quickly criminals by awaring public, it can also be a reson of bursting new criminal actions. This news can be watched by emotionally non-stable people, who can find inspiring and curious these actions. Especially, this is actual for people who are in a difficult life situation, like heavy ilness of parents, some accidents or, in general, people with vulnerable psychology because of some trauma. Fuhermore, this news can be harmful to teenagers and their non-fully formed mental health. Teenagers have already been affected under violent video games, additionally, criminal real news from real life left in their mind such curiosity to do some criminalistic action. They cannot think as a mature man and act without proper thinking about the negative outcomes. As a result, this news make these group of people to attempt to start with ome small offensives such as pickpocketing, hooliganism or vandalism. But after while time it can be enlarged to heavy offensives such as bank robbery, abduction or even killing the person.

In conclusion, we considered in this essay two different opinions about publishing criminal news and its banning from public. Despite the fact that this news can be served as a key for military source to find criminals by participation public to searching and recognising criminals also, I strongly agree on point that this news can affect harmfully to mentally non-stable people’s mind and immature brain of youngsters. This can be resulted by igniting new criminalistic actions with further inevitable consequences both for their and public life.
