Thread: Do you think indian media can play a role in curbing crime?

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.
