Some people argue that, reporting violent crimes by TV and newspapers should be banned, due to they encourage offenders to commit crimes. While I agree that can have negative effects, but completly banning of them would more harm than good.
First and foremost, it is true that, giving news about shocking insidents throught press coverage makes some individuals feel unsafe and afraid even areas where crime rates are low. So that, they avoid going out at nigt. Moreover, some of them even purchase weapons for self defence. Without a doubt, consequently, it leads more violence rather than less. Additionally, such excessive reporting on violent crime would provide harmful effects to children since they cannot fully distinguish right from wrong yet.
On the other hand, outright banning media coverage, especially TV and newspapers, giving reliavle report is prevent the public from being informed and other types of media such as, social platforms which want gain a lot of vieweres, may give fiction, fake, along with horrable information. As a outcome, the situation would become worse. Furthermore, it would human rights be violated,as we live in democratic and modern society and some injustice situations might be unnoticed.
To conclude, althought, crime reporting serves an important function in racing awareness and promoting justice, they have also damaging inpacts to citizens. Controlling of them should present effective result.
