Fourth in a series
Until a year ago, crime reportage often did not identify the source of the "facts" in stories and thus people just took the information on faith when in reality the police, with a vested interest in getting a conviction, provided the details.
Suspects with criminal records might find their history getting heavy play, as well as any negative comments from acquaintances, casting the impression, for example, that those under arrest are bad by nature.
