Abstract

Crime is a phenomenon that exists in all societies. At all times and places, crimes have been committed and spread in societies regardless of the level of culture, economic, scientific, and social progress for society members, and regardless of the perpetrators of crimes and their education, culture, wealth, and poverty. The media plays a large role as one of the influences of criminal behaviour. By following the inductive and analytical approaches, this research aims to illustrate the impact of the print, audio, visual and electronic media on the criminal phenomenon. This research concluded that the media has an influential role in the increase of the crime rate, even if it is indirectly, where broadcasting a crime on social media has contributed to the increase in its commission by others in the same country or in other countries. Therefore, the researcher recommends the necessity of imposing censorship on what is published through the media, especially electronic media, and that the family must carry its responsibility in following up and monitoring its members to evaluate their behaviour and prevent them from engaging in criminal behaviour. Finally, the researcher recommends conducting future research on the relationship between the media and the criminal phenomenon, especially the role of social media in influencing criminal behaviour.

 

ملخص البحث

الجريمة ظاهرة موجودة في جميع المجتمعات، ففي كل زمان ومكان وجدت الجرائم وانتشرت في المجتمعات بصرف النظر عن درجة الثقافة والتقدم الاقتصادي والعلمي والاجتماعي، وبصرف النظر عن مرتكبي الجرائم ودرجة تعليمهم وثقافتهم وثراهم وفقرهم. وتلعب وسائل الإعلام دوراً كبيراً كأحد مؤثرات السلوك الإجرامي. وباتباع المنهجين الاستقرائي والتحليلي، يهدف هذا البحث إلى بيان أثر وسائل الإعلام المقروءة والمسموعة والمرئية والإلكترونية على الظاهرة الإجرامية. وخلص هذا البحث إلى أن لوسائل الإعلام دوراً مؤثراً في ازدياد معدل الجريمة ولو بشكل غير مباشر، فقد ساهم نشر الجريمة على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي في ازدياد ارتكاربها من قبل آخرين في نفس الدولة أو في دول أخرى. ولذا يوصي الباحث بضرورة فرض رقابة على ما يتم نشره عبر وسائل الإعلام خصوصاً الإلكترونية، وأن تنهض الأسرة بمسؤوليتها في متابعة ورقابة أفرادها لتقويم سلوكهم ووقايتهم من الانخراط في السلوك الإجرامي. وأخيراً يوصي الباحث بمزيد من الدراسات في العلاقة بين وسائل الإعلام والظاهرة الإجرامية خصوصاً دور وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي في التأثير على السلوك الإجرامي.
