We have crime rates soaring sky high and yet very little is being done on this issue. The metropolitan cities like Delhi is becoming a nightmare for the women where the rape cases are becoming more and more rampant. Many other cases of kidnappings, homicides, robberies are taking place. Do you think indian media is doing enough to bring these issues in the front?
Of course yes! Indian media is very powerful and can contribute a lot in curbing crime if possible. but they all are busy in making money by showing vulgar scams and other useless stuffs. They can actually play a important role in curbing crime by showing the methods of how to tackle terrorism and protect the safety of various things and people. but they will not do as they have taken up media as a business these days.
Yes, absolutely! Media can play a crucial role in curbing crime as it creates good amount of awareness amongst the public. With this people become aware of the facts on crime which helps in turn helps in preventing any such incidents to take place.
In my view media is not playing a role in curbing crime rather it is escalating the crime by showing the various ways of committing crime. Media plays a vital role in escalating juvenile crime. It attracts the youth by presentation of the unconventional way of life which eventually lend a hand for committing various crimes. The want of having such a life and unable to afford it force them to commit crimes. Also the television programs and the news channels, presenting certain serials and reports attracts the youth to try new thrills eventually end up committing crime.
Indian Media is definitely capable of curbing crime but unfortunately, they have given rise to more and more crimes by telecasting programs that shows the different methods of committing crime. This attracts people, especially the youth of the society to commit crimes using those methods. Media should stop showing such programs on televisions in order to stop crime that is increasing at a fast pace in the society.
Media definitely can play a crucial role in curbing crime from the society by making people aware of the various crimes that is going on in the society. They should show the real picture of the society to the people and make people more aware of what can happen. They can also let people know about the laws and their sternness so that people are scared of committing crimes.
Media being the mirror of the society can do anything only if they wish to. Media has the capability to change the whole society as people today are more inclined to believe and trust media. Media can play a massive role in curbing crime by making people aware about the sternness of law and the consequences of crime.
