16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, September 2, 1965 Officer Raps News Media Sensationalizing Of Crime MONTREAL (CP) --. Jean- Paul Gilbert, assistant director of the Montreal police depart- ment, Wednesday attacked the "sensational" manner in which the press and other news media report on crime. The police officer was one of four persons who spoke on the topic Publicity in Criminal Af- fairs to delegates at the Inter- national criminolo gical Con- gress here. Mr. Gilbert said that "as crime is a social reality, it is their (the newspapers') job to point out that the evil exists," but he took issue with the choice of subject matter and the presentation. There are people who are un balanced and predisposed to crime who can be triggered into committing a criminal act by LARGE-SCALE WAR IMMINENT scenes which are too suggestive or "after having read_.a too-de- tailed story on criminality." 'All too often information me- dia forget to take this into ac- count."' And in addition to their job lof informing, news media had another reason for existing: that of operating at a profit. Mr. Gilbert said his opinion, and that of other veteran offi- cers, is that 'certain (crime) stories, because of the way they are' presented, exert a. strong influence on the individual's be- havior and furnish techniques which will be used by those in- terested in crime." Giving too many details often tipped off the criminal that cer- tain establishments were not well protected by alarms or in- adequately guarded. 9 Canadian Army Officers See Peace D By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer ie In Kashmi dents.

In addition to giving a too- detailed story, newspapers sometimes treated matters such as jail breaks in such a man- ner that the criminal was made jinto a popular hero. | | "Approximately two years) jago, there was a great deal o | publicity about 'goof balls'. Our police then noticed a remark: able rise in the number of ju- veniles using the barbituates.
