The names of perpetrators should not be withheld, so that the public knows whom to put the shame on.
What would be welcomed, though, is the media acting with more self-restraint in general. Less glitter. Less giving-them-a-stage. Less talkshows putting the victim-perpetrator-role 180° around, and distorting guilt by endlessly discussing it and trying to learn why a perpetrator became what he became. For too many media, such reasonable consideration serves only as an alibi to surf on such stories as long as possible.
