Nearly every news organization in Germany (even for adult suspects and convicts)[1] will rarely publish names, and also many of the more reputable ones in Britain will weigh public interest against privacy as a matter of policy. At least in Scotland it is even illegal to name suspects under 18.
You'll find mention of the issue in many journalistic ethics codes, and many newspaper's policies. For a US example from the SPJ's Code of Ethics[2]:
> Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness.
> Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, [..]
> Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information.
> Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do.
> Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication.
In the UK, for radio and TV, the Ofcom Broadcasting Code contains similar guidelines in less straightforward language.
