However, what has now become the norm in releases emanating from the police, details of persons arrested and charged are not being provided.
The details not forthcoming for most of these offences include where the crime was committed and against whom.
With the exception of details concerning juveniles, media practitioners are left in the proverbial wilderness and are unable to provide readers with pertinent information so as to guard against crime being committed within their community, such as building breaking.
