Names have meaning

TV stations usually use "police jargon" to name their crime shows. Currently, there are shows on TV called Sidik (investigate), Sergap (arrest), Buser (chase and arrest), Brutal and Bidik (target).

Except Trans TV, which has the weekly Lacak (Pursue) crime news/feature program, every private television station has daily crime shows.

Here are the television programs focusing on crime news:
