MAIN BODY
Media representation of crime.
In today's scenario media has become accounts of crime stories, these stories tend
to focus on usual crimes and violent crimes. There are huge numbers of crimes that is
reported and shown by the news channels (Greer, 2019). Media has always carry crime
extensively, this become huge challenge for the local generation and people to get
information through the media channels. The way people respond to the crime information
and media coverage has expanded the level of growth and information of data gathering.
Coverage of crime also depends on the part of information and data gathering (Marsh, I.
and Melville, G., 2019). Media play important role in the promotion of public
understanding and issues that public may face in order to provide effective information
about the local crime scans so that public can be aware about it. Criminal justice is filed
where media coverage play vital role and impact the strong influence. People may change
their decision making process for the effective development and growth of the culture
needs and wants of information.
Media has huge impact on the development of awareness between the people about

the crime scans occurring in the society. There are many types of news that media cover
for the effective communication between public and other nation. Media inform people
about various happenings and crimes occurring in overall world. Media coverage of crime
scenes helps people to identify the need of safety and security in the knowledge objects.
Media keeps people aware about the threat and possibilities of threat in the society (Marsh,
and Melville, 2019). At the time of crime scenes people are not aware about the condition
of victims and media channels helps people to understand and have knowledge about the
crime and condition of the victim. Media reporting the accounts of crime scenes so that
information can be provided to the audience. Media report and highlighted the random
crime scenes to gain effective information and knowledge about the majority of crime.
Media reporting highlights for the random and effective news scenes for the effective
growth and development of the process.
Police officers also depend on the media news and information because of
effectiveness in the coverage areas and information (Slakoff, D.C., 2020). Exposure to the
crime scenes is important for the development and growth of the public support and
information. Mass media define the role and information about the crime coverage areas
and information.
To state the crime on the TV channels is one of the most effective use of crime
sessions that can help to develop effective media coverage of crime and help people to
understand about the safety and security of the time. The target audience for the effective
coverage of the crime could be young and old age people who are not aware about the
crime scenes in the city and that could help them to gain effective knowledge about the
crime.

Analysis and commentary.
Power in and around media:
Communication via modern technology helps to enhance the level of effective
communication and growth in the society (Baïri, A., 2021). Mass communication and digital
technology has increase the power of the media network and role in the society. Also there are
various functions of transferable digital media that enhance the level of effective communication
and growth in the network. Culture transmission and entertainment enhance the level of
effectiveness in the society and increase culture participation. Mass media communication helps
to enhance culture transmission and approaches. Most of the news and media channels provide
effective growth and power and media (Côté-Roy, L. and Moser, S., 2019). The sense of power
with the media and contention of the media applications that enhance the level of growth and
around the media. Media has the power to provide the information and analysis of the groups of
the people. Power around the media is because people have their information through the media
channels and media. People have information and use it for the protection and actual
advancement of the roles and objectives of the media channels. Media channels improve the
level of effectiveness and have the power to change the point of view of other people. Socially
people exist in the both terms for the growth and development of the information generation of
the idea and information. The audience has their point of view according to the growth and
objectives of the media conversion. Providing audience effective content and information is
important for their development and growth in the culture of the society. Media conversion has
roles and objectives to identify the growth of knowledge and information about the media
platform.
Contemporary social issues with digital and social media:
Large present of population use digital media for the effective growth and efficiency in
their daily life style. Digital media has taken growth and enhancement of the society and improve
living standard of the people (Hjorth, L. and Hinton, S., 2019). Also there are various aspect of
digital and social media that has impact of society and norms and regulation. Digital media and
social media has various issues that people face in daily life style. One of the major issues of
digital and social media is cyber crime this has huge impact on the life style of the people and
impacts their growth in the digital platforms. There are increasing number of cyber crimes in the
3

over all world that have impact on the people and digital accounts. Through the digital media

Cyber security is also a major issue in the digital and social media networks. High level
of risk can face by the user in the financial transactions also digital harassment in the form of the
digital crime is faced by the people that have an impact on the growth and efficiency of the users.
Excessive use of internet is also become issues in the society, youth is more concern about their
digital and social media accounts rather than focus on the physical activities. Its also become
challenge for the parents and this increase the level of ineffectiveness of the work and social
gambling also improved (Meel, P. and Vishwakarma, D.K., 2019). Also this decrease the level of
ethics and norms of the society by the use of social media channels children has become of
interactive with the use of the media channels that they should not use. This decrease the level of
norms and culture they have in the issues and prospective. Also privacy of people has impact
because of security and crime increasing at the level of social media channels. Also there are
various aspect of the social and digital issues that people face in daily life. In order to enhance
the level of effective experience people expected to enhance the level of security and crime
scenes.
Reflection:
Use of social and digital media has huge impact on the growth and enhancement of the
people. Also there are various digital application and social media application that I have been
using since very long. Digital media and social media application helps me to make connects
with people across the world wide. There are various issues in social media and digital media
channels that I have faced and this become challenge for the growth and development I want in
personal and professional life. Use of social media channels helps me to gain better information
about what happening across the world and this enhances the level of knowledge and information
I have in the future growth and development. I use various digital media and social media
applications such as Facebook, Instagram, tweeter, and many more applications that helps me to
grow information and data about the various topics. Use of digital media enhances the level of
communication and knowledge according to the society norms. However, I have face many
challenges in the social media platforms such as cyber crime, lack of security, safety on the
accounts of media and many more.

is considered as a very strong platform for all young people to present themselves as tough. With
respect to this there were certain self justifications also in relation with carrying out all weapons
and put out their interests ahead of all obligations.
There is certain specific crime which is needed to celebrate more. While looking at the
crime of gun and knife it has been analyzed the knife crimes are more dangerous and it is needed
to be celebrating more with respect to the media distribution. On the other hand knife is also
effective for self- protection because it leads to easier concealment. There are various criminal
justice issues also which need to be celebrated like cyber crime. It is one of the fastest growing
areas of focus in the criminal justice system. So, certain policies got started on the basis of cyber
security.
