　　It is a common phenomenon that we are surrounded by crime reports transmitted by a variety of media audits like television. Some believe that it is likely to impose negative impact on our society. Personally, whether such publicity of violent scenes is positive or negative is still under question.

　　It is of course the true case that violent information exerts a detrimental influence on people subconsciously, particularly on children lacking the ability of judgment. In this way, children are of great likelihood to mimic what they have seen in violent television programs. It is also fair to say that this is evident for some adults. By that I mean violent images lead people to be more anxious about their safety, since they may automatically presume whatever disastrous sufferings they saw on screen or newspaper may fall on them. Therefore, being to meticulous about their security, many perspectives of their lives such as working efficiency and life qualities are the collateral victims.

　　However, in spite of this, there is no adequate reason for the eradication of criminality on screen. Those who are negatively affected are just a result of the disability to psychologically control themselves properly, which cannot be attributed to media, and it is incumbent upon it to inform the massed of what have happened around them, no matter good or bad. In addition, objectively, it is indisputably persuasive that the description of crimes actually serves as a deterrent to these potential criminals, who harbor the conspiracy to break the law.

　　In conclusion, the appearance of anti-social behaviors on television demonstrates both its upsides and downsides in society. However, age limitation should be carried out in case the very young who lack judgment go astray.
