DelawareO reports on individual instances of crime. We follow these standards when doing so:

  • We generally do not post mugshots or identify suspects by name who are charged with misdemeanors. Exceptions to this policy can be made at the discretion of editorial staff, when deemed in the interest of the public good.
  • When available, we will name and use mugshots of suspects charged with felony crimes. When a name and mugshot are used, we make a commitment to follow the progress of the case through the court system. If charges are eventually dropped, or the suspect is acquitted, we will make a prominent note of that fact in all previous coverage. We will also consider removing the name and photo of the suspect, at the discretion of editorial staff.
  • delawareo.com does not identify the victims of sexual assault, except at the request of the victim.
