We are living in a time when civil rights to know the truth clash with other objective factors necessary to be taken into consideration. In my opinion, details should be withheld by media workers and the government, for there are more drawbacks than the merits that the detailed reports may bring.

On the one hand, detailed reports may include something improper for kids that is the largest drawback those reports have, as they may pose bad effects on the young. They are known to include information about drug abuse, children abuse and somewhat like that, which is an overwhelming impact on teenagers. The young lack the basic ability to tell right from wrong, so they can be easily misled, and consequently go astray.

On the other hand, details of reporting those crimes may become an unknowing way to offer resources by which the criminals perfect their methods of committing crimes, thus resulting in even more crimes. In this case, a wide range of new ways of crimes come into being constantly, which has been already posing great obstacles to the police. As for criminals, therefore, the details of crimes could be a resource of achieving enlightenment. By learning from the details, those criminals can think up more sophisticated methods to commit crimes, which undoubtedly makes it harder for police to tackle, and which increases fear among the public.

To summarize, I don't think that details of crimes should be revealed, due to the fact that children may be misled and that criminals could study from them so much that they would do greater harm to the society and bring more fear to the public.

Nowadays, information updates in the speed faster than we can receive. So does crime reports. There are many people holds the view that the media should not report details, because the teenagers need a healthy media environment. However, I think reporting details does more good than bad.
Firstly, we have the right to know the truth. If the media refuses to tell us the details, many people will find another way to figure out, and some bad guys would use this as an opportunity to mislead public opinion.
Secondly, many parents worry that more details of crimes, especially about drug abuse, violence, sex related crimes, will adversely affect the development of teenagers in mental healthy. But we can stop the media, we cannot stop the games. Many teenagers are addicted in virtual lives created in the games, and some of them cannot even distinguish the real life from the virtual one. Telling details of crimes can be used to teach young people what is right and what is wrong from the real world.
Thirdly, reporting the details can lead us to know what means the crimes will use against the victims, Making citizens be prepared when crimes come.
Above all, I think disclosing details of crimes will do more good than bad to the public. The media should report details.

In a time when changing mind is out of tone with overwhelming information intake, whether to report crime details has become more and more an issue. Despite the risk that crime details may mislead the youth, I still think reporting details does more good than bad.

The public have civil rights to know the truth, which is vitally important in modern society. If the government rejects our requests to know the truth and asks the media to be in line with it, then the public might question the government, for its operation is not transparent. Then we can assume that the government will get a lot of bad press, which could put the stability of the whole society in jeopardy because people no longer trust their government.

The youth might need some information intake to differentiate good from bad. When the youth step into the real world far from book knowledge, they are not equipped with basic capability to identify risk-taking behaviors if they have never encountered them before. Therefore, for these young people, crime behaviors can easily go unrecognized and they might also be involved.

In addition, the public can be better-prepared for potential crime behaviors if they know crime methods in detail. It is more likely for the public to think out coping strategies when they know more than they only know the basic framework. If the public only know the basic idea of crimes, it is true that they know how to distinguish crimes. However, they do not have any coping strategy in place to deal with crimes. In this way, when crimes come, the public are still ill-prepared.

To conclude, more details of crime should be revealed because it does more good than bad.

00waterh: 金币+16, ESEPI+1, To sum up. it is safe to say reporting crimes activities aimed at letting us learn how to protect ourselves will be benefitial to us.~thank you 2013-12-12 09:39:02

Suddenly I realised the ablity to my writing is  a pupil level.
Really hope Lope can revise something, and give me some advice to me.
the below is my wirting.

With the rise of technology, cellphones and computers are prevailing among youngsters. As a result, tons of information reported by medium can easily convery to people. They will inevitably exposure some negative news in detail by exclusive report. However, the detailed crimes procedure reported can bring about some bad effect such as increaing the risk of crimes.  Therefore, many educators advise that medium should not report details of crimes to the public, Personally, I basically agree.

First of all,  reporting details of crimes can damage criminals’ image. As we all know everyone has the right of portraits even s/he is in prison. When medium always report detailed crime,  criminals has to accept their interview, in this case, you can imagine that these criminals will feel ashamed for what they did.  By doing this, they are difficult to change for the better after out of prison. Therefore, crimals’ interest will be damaged.

Besides that, it will affect adversely young people. For one thing, people who have heard of deatiled crimes are easy to become aggressive. A recent survey found, after polling hundreds of young people in the street, ranging from 15 years old to 35 years old, most respondents claimed that they were more likely to become annoyed and out of control after conveyed some news on detailed crimes.

For another thing, young people, because of their instinctive abilities to simulate, will imitate bad manners from criminals reported by TV.  For example,  if  CCTV news reported murderers how to kill people in detail, some young people will simulate the same thing in real world when confronting the similar case.  Therefore, no one can deny the fact that reporting detailed crimes will lead to some negative effect in society.

However, exceptions do exist. Sometimes, reporting detailed crimes can protect ourselves from hazardous circumstances. For instance, one will realise how to avoid being stolen by thieves on the bus after hearing about the crime activity. One in the mid-night will never walk alone in the dark corner after knowing a chance to happen to robbers will increase at night.

To sum up. it is safe to say reporting crimes activities aimed at letting us learn how to protect ourselves will be benefitial to us.

It is true that with the advent of information era, there comes a media information build-up including crime details. Many educators suggest that medium should withhold details of crimes to the public, and I personally hold the same opinion.

Of course crime details can help us better prepare for potential crimes. Most people are aware of crime on textbooks but still lack for the basic ability to identify crimes in real life. This is primarily due to the fact that when people are involved, they do not necessarily know how criminals operate the crime. More details can produce the largest likelihood for people to literally avoid crime in real life, and thus protect their own property and personal safety.

Reporting details of crimes sometimes could sometimes undermine confidence of criminals in jail, and could pose damage to prisoners’ future life. Being in jail itself is already a significant harm on both the criminal and his family. Crime detail reports always entail prisoner compulsory interviews which could potentially render prisons mentally-ill, and thus harm the prisoner and his family even further. If mental breakdowns ever occur, it is likely that in no way could the prisoner adapt to the society anymore.

The negative impact of crime details on the young is significant, which is not a problem to be treated lightly. For children who lived through the height of crime details without parental guide, they themselves could pick up coarse languages automatically from the event retrieval, or even become violent. Clearly what we want is not an increase of social unrest, but rather a reduction of harm to the public.

To conclude, despite that reporting crime details might bring us some benefits, I still think the negative impacts of doing so on the society overshadow the positive impacts.
