Violence should be censored, this would reduce crimes because the rate of people exposed to violence would go down causing the rate of people desensitized (unaffected) by it to go down because the more a person is exposed to something visually the less it starts to bother them ( violence in movies,video games, social media, etc.). Once the rate of unaffected people goes down it will bring down the rate of crime because things like blood, gore, etc, will displease people and they themselves wont be comfortable with being the cause of it.
I think violence in the media should regulate crime to the degree that they do currently. I don't think the entire world needs to know of every small crime that happens somewhere nowhere close, but they should know of major things that could have an effect on their lives, or are awful and need to be known. Although, I think the media should cover smaller crimes on smaller news channels, so the locals can know what is happening in their town. I think it may reduce more major crimes for some people who care about their public appearance, but overall I don't think it would make it reduce crime because the people who do these types of things tend to not care be it because of a mental disorder or the idea that they won't get caught.
