The Role of the Media in Crime Investigations: Information Access, Limitations and Recommendations
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing media access to information during crime investigations and the role of the media. While the media’s role is considered an important one in crime investigations, especially in the areas of mass appeals, most research has shown that the relationship between the crime investigation units and the media is one of a delicate balance. When policing units do not release information to the media, they are disregarding their responsibility to the safety of the public while at the same time leaving the media to initiate their own investigations often with unreliable information and conclusions. On the other hand, when too much information is released, the investigation can be jeopardized, or the release of sensitive information can be damaging to the victims and their families. The media sensationalizing crimes or releasing too much information has also led to accusations of copycat crimes. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
