Say Something

Today's media is putting pressure on the justice system. 

General news about crime and the work of the justice system is very important in creating images of the value of public justice.  Corruption and integrity news receives more than any other topic of news. Ferguson and just recently in Cleveland, Tamir Rice, a 12 year old boy was carrying a fake gun and he was shot and killed by a Cleveland police officer. 

The nature of crime news coverage and its occurrence in the media, mostly on television has long been a matter of concern to public officials and the public. I believe that current coverage practices deflect attention from the causes of crime and the guidelines needed to control it.
