To make copycat crimes, governmental solutions and educational solutions are needed. First of all, government should control the media's crime scenes and violent scenes. Pre-censorships and post-censorship of mass communication would be necessary. Second, appropriate media education should be offered. They will help people use and consume media in a the proper way(Jang, 2007).
Compared to the past a lot more violent media contents are flooding our society and accordingly copy cat crimes are also emerging as a serious social problem. Especially, mass media has a great influence on teenagers. According to Park (2009), mass communication is largely responsible for teenage crimes. For example, movies with violent scenes on television encourage teenagers to do copycat crimes. As a result, when they keep watching the violent scenes in the long term, they get insensitive to criminal acts.
