Three main arguments for segregation have been given first, that flaunting of crime news on page one under banner lines has encouraged crime, while segregation takes the glory out of it; second, that the crime page can be slipped out and the paper given to children without fear of them reading material that might be detrimental to minds in the formative stage; and third, that the political international news stories is the real news, and segregation of crime stories gives readers...
