Respecting Victims and Families
We understand that crime stories can be sensitive and we take great care not to sensationalize or exploit the pain of victims and their families. We always strive to treat victims and their families with respect and dignity, and we never publish information that could put them at risk.
Investigative Journalism and Accuracy
We are committed to providing accurate and in-depth reporting on crime stories. Our team of experienced journalists works hard to investigate all sides of a story and to present the facts in a fair and unbiased manner. We also fact-check all information before we publish it to ensure its accuracy.
Working with Law Enforcement
We work closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure that our reporting does not interfere with their investigations. We never publish information that could jeopardize an ongoing investigation or put the safety of law enforcement officers at risk.
Protecting the Rights of the Accused
We believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. We never publish information that could prejudice a jury or interfere with the fair administration of justice. We also always give the accused an opportunity to respond to allegations before we publish any stories.
Privacy Concerns
We respect the privacy of individuals who are involved in crime stories. We never publish personal information, such as addresses or phone numbers, without their consent. We also never publish photos of victims or their families without their consent.
