Researches reveal that media has a significance role in the personality development process of an individual which can be either positive or negative. Previous studies stated that reporting crimes, violence and anti-social activities in media can influence youth in two ways; one is providing a warning or preventive measures and the other is inculcating criminal behavior. As per World Health Organization, youth are those who come in between the age of 15 to 24 years. They are the one who frequently make use of various forms of media which is currently available in their fingertips. After the analysis of secondary data about the crime rate, it is clear that there is a need to mitigate crime to lead a joyful life and to safeguard the society. Hence, the researcher had planned to take up a study with the objective to know the impact of media on youth, implications of media in crime prevention and to suggest measure to curb the evil of crime by collecting the primary data. The youth residing in Mangaluru city are the respondents and the data is collected through interview method. Simple random technique is adopted for the selection of sample. The present study focuses on the youth perception about the role of media in preventing crime in the city of Mangaluru which would also give an insight to the various stakeholders of Law enforcement agencies to work together to reduce the crime problems in the society. Community policing, police-public relationship, communicating the crime preventive measures, awareness programmes and the effective punishment given to the wrongdoers through various mass media would reach a large group of people in and around the state. If all the stake holders join together to mitigate the crime surely we can make our country as crime free in 2047.
