Re-enactment shows are on the rise.

Almost all of the news channels that we see have one or another crime re-enactment show that is aired. The content that is shown in these half-hourly television shows is not suitable for under-18's, but no specific warning is issued as preamble to the episodes as they begin—to ward off the under aged. Some parents are ignorant to the upbringing of their children and allow them to sit and watch. This results in the child's learning of the horrors of the world of crime and gives room to...possibilities.

The crimes being re-enacted are usually that of theft, murder, abduction, and sexual abuse.

 If left unsupervised during watching TV, teenagers might come across these shows in the process of 'sifting through' different channels. They might decide to watch and it might not be healthy for them.

PEMRA has issued warnings to more than seventeen TV channels, asking them to abide by their policies, lest the channels should get banned.
