问题     Detailed reporting of crime has bad effects. Consequently, such details should not be reported in the media. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     The media has had a long history of crime reporting. The right of the media to do this is rarely disputed, but the way in which it does often comes under criticism. One issue that has been discussed a lot recently is the amount of details that should be published.
    Those who believe that as much detail as possible should be published point to the demand for such information from the public and the principle of freedom of information. And many members of the public believe that the more information they have, the better they can protect themselves from criminals. However, I think they are ignoring some potential side effects of this act.
    The main reason I think why the media should not give many details of crimes is simply because that it would alert the criminal to what the police know and do not know. This could allow the criminal to adjust his or her behavior and avoid detection or capture. Sometimes it actually might work as a kind of tutorial providing clues or tips to potential criminals. What is worse, giving certain details could cause danger to the victim, his or her families and any witnesses. As is shown in many crime reports, people get interviewed or offer help to the police. Coverage involving that could easily get innocent people into serious troubles or even life-threatening situations.
    To conclude, I believe that the police should control the amount of information given to the media and victims of and witnesses to crimes should think carefully when talking to the media. This is not to say that crimes should not be reported, only that there is insufficient reason for so many details to be included.
