Restrict publication of the name and photographs of mass murder suspects

Additional Information

Every time we see a new event, such as the Norwegian shootings and the rampage in Denver last week, we immediately see the newspapers and TV news plastered with the name and image of the suspects. This is typically exactly what they desire, and only serves to give more motivation to the next person considering such an act.

I am realistic and understand that we enjoy freedom of the press in this country - but can we consider the options for a voluntary restriction of the publication of photographs and real names by the UK media, and perhaps in time other countries will follow suit.
