The Right to More Meaningful Crime Coverage The Right to More Meaningful Crime Coverage  Click here for info on voice capture Voice Playback Provided by "The Survey System"  Click once where indicated to hear voice-capture verbatim audio files  Click here to download free player software  "Do most stations do a good job of offering crime coverage which focuses more on your safety and apprehending criminals instead of sensationalizing their exploits, or is this an area where they need to improve?" This complaint comes more or less equally from almost every segment of the audience. While almost 40% think it's a problem, half of them feel strongly about it. It's especially important to women and 25-34s, since they're much less likely than the rest of the audience to have any specific complaints about local news. What Viewers Really Say about Crime Coverage Based on this and scores of other voice-capture surveys, viewers describe "meaningful" crime reporting as coverage which focuses more on the apprehension of criminals than on the crimes they commit. These viewers feel that local news "glorifies" criminals, making them into inappropriate "heroes" or "role models." They also say that repetitive coverage of the crime itself is negative, doesn't serve any constructive purpose, and can result in "copycat" crimes. Many believe that it would be better for society if more emphasis were placed on the punishment than the crime. Focusing on the apprehension of the perpetrator is a good way of making a turning an otherwise negative crime story into coverage most viewers see as "positive." It makes people feel as if something is being done to bring closure to the situation. They say it also helps the community and the local Police Department, and makes them feel as if something good is being accomplished. "If there's fugitives out there, we need to know it. The more that's on TV where we can see faces, the quicker they can apprehend these people...We want to know the effort is on trying to catch the person...It means [the TV station] is helping out instead of just doing it for ratings...There's a lot of news, but not much action...Arrests are positive. We need to see successes, too." While some believe that the sensational, repetitive coverage of crime can actually make it harder to catch criminals, it also impinges on a suspect's right to a fair trial. "They make `em guilty before they're even found guilty. It makes it harder to pick a fair jury and give `em a fair trial...The TV coverage (of a major crime committed in the Chicago area) was redundant and peripheral. They didn't stick with the story, and I think if they had, they probably would've gotten a better or more just verdict." Crime coverage "tends to overrate the criminal and forget the victim....Rarely do they show the impact of the crime on the community, or the grief and suffering of the victims." Other viewer comments concerning crime coverage are as follows: Focus More on Bringing Suspects Into Custody — "We need to know that something is being done. We don't need a drama series...Rather than dwell on what they did, to try and catch them is the most important issue...If they spent more time catching the criminals instead of talking about it, they might get better results...I wouldn't want the efforts to take [criminals] into custody to drag on too long...It'd be a better world if we promoted catching the criminals...The more you broadcast it, the more you're likely to help catch the person...They can catch a lot of people that way. It might help if there's more input from the public as to helping with it, and [criminals] might think before committing a crime if they knew people might report them or they might be witnessed on a camera." Don't Make Heroes Out of Criminals — "I think [news] causes people to commit more crimes because they can get notoriety out of it...Focusing on what they've done builds up the excitement of the act and causes others to want to follow along. Whereas if they focus more on them being caught and punished, that would be a deterrent...There's so many copycat criminals, so may people who will do anything for notoriety or attention...If they sensationalize something, then someone who's on the edge will go out and try that...Once they commit the crime, it doesn't matter how they did it...The more they advertise crime, the more you're going to have followers trying to do better...When people commit a crime and become TV heroes, it's not right. They should have to pay for it...I don't think criminals should get any kind of credit or publicity." Offer Coverage Which Actually Accomplishes Something — "It makes more sense to catch a criminal than to sit around and talk about it...It doesn't do much good just to show the scenes. It just makes people voyeurs." Don't Exploit the Situation — "They make a big deal out of it rather than just getting to the basics, saying what it is, and letting it go...They get too carried away with what the criminal has done, over and over...They sensationalize the news terribly around here...The negative is terribly emphasized, and it's not good for society. [Many potential criminals] already don't have a strong enough foundation to lead them into positive behavior...When they sensationalize it, it encourages our youth to try to do the same thing to get attention, whereas if they focus more on catching criminals and seeing them back behind bars, it focuses more on the consequences of the crime...Media should report the truth, and not what's gonna enhance their income...They make it seem so glamorous to commit these crimes, that they entice the younger generation." More Follow-Up — "A lot of stories on violent crime don't have any follow-up on the consequences of the act. You never hear about punishment...More behind what's actually happening, more perspective...I wanna know when the criminal has been caught...I wanna see what the end is...Rarely do they follow it through sentencing."       © 2000 InsiteMedia Research and Tallal, Inc. |
