Because they are convicted criminals. This isn't a case of showing photographs of suspects. They've all pled guilty. Showing their faces accomplishes three main things. 1. It disambiguates them from people who share their names. You can now see that it isn't the Callum Picari you went to school with. 2. It acts as a warning to the community. You may have been a victim of these people, but not known their names. Seeing a photo might jog your memory and enable you to report further crimes. 3. It is a disincentive. If you are planning on committing a crime, you will know that your face will be in the media if caught.
