It is a common belief that society shouldn’t release the personal information of violent criminals to protect them from any revenge on the public. However, there is a persuasive argument that to protect the public from the violent criminals, the public should be available to know their personal information because people have a right to know what it is happening in the society, where they are living in.
On the one hand, the personal information of violent criminals should be kept by government, based on law. Because their private information is as valuable as the public’s information. For example, victims of a crime could revenge to a family of the criminal. If they spread the information of them to online as one of their revenges, the public could harm their family as a crime as they have seen. It is an illegal behavior and it ruins our rules of society. It could cause a chaotic situation without law.
On the other hand, some people say their information should be shared with the public to prevent their second crime because current law-punishment is not suitable to make them stop unexpected other crimes that could be happened by them. So, their personal information should be accessible for the public, protecting the public from them. An excellent example of this occurred in South Korea, a women were going to her house had a assault from a man in a street, and the criminal went to jail. All the things seemed solved well by the police forces, but the problem is that he mentioned, he would revisit her house and revenge her cruelly. After this article released by media, unfortunately, she had endless fear and ruined her life. If their data is shared with the people, they can protect themselves from the second crime occurred by the criminals who did it first.
To sum up, while it is apparent that the private information should be protected by the public. It is undeniable that people have rights to know and protect themselves from secondary or series crimes from them, should be a top priority.
