The assay carries on a questionnaire in 400 students under 16 in Beixin District, Shenyang and 105 nonages been taken care to teach in Guangzhou while studying the literature. 505 questionnaires were given out and 475 of them are effective which includes 380 from Shenyang and 95 from Guangzhou.The essay consists of four parts below:The first part is an introduction of two sections. Section one expatiates the motivation of writing. Section two defines nouns in the assay and gives a brief expatiation.The second part analyzes the literature and consists of three sections. The first section analyzes the current situation of crime news reports and summarizes the problem of false reports in current crime news reports. Section two explains the reasons of juvenile delinquency from environment factors and main factors.

Section two puts forward two advices to ruling media action and three ways to build nonages' quality in media.The result reveals that the influence of crime news report on nonage is quite different from what the theoreticians believe.Generally, people think the offensive acts of nonages result from the touching of crime news report. However, this research reveals the fact that crime news report affects nonages more in learning than acting and it changes and influences nonages imperceptibly. Whether it is negative effects or not depends on nonages' age, family structure, relation with classmates and teachers. Generally speaking, crime news reports have more ill effects on boys, single parent families and those who have weak relation with classmates and teachers.There are certain dissimilarities between the research result of common primary and middle school students and nonages been taken care of to teach. No matter it is in the level of learning or the level of acting, Crime news reports have less impact on former investigate object than the latter one. This closely relates to their family relation, classmate and the harmonious degree of the relation of teacher and pupil and their motivations of touching crime news reports. The former of the above-mentioned relations' harmonious degrees is obviously deeper than the latter one and their motivations are more upright. That is why nonages' selection and understanding of the content is different while touching crime news reports .That is also why crime news reports have different impact on nonagesMoreover, the third people's effect cognition also exists in the nonage, but the strength is weak. Especially in the nonages been taken care to teach, the third people's effect cognition is not observed and will not affect them.Research result explains that although the effects of crime news reports are there, the influence of it is far less than people expect. Its character (both positive and negative) and degree of influence (wide and limited) varies from individual circumstances.
