Title: Message
The shield acts as a antenna, and when grounded induced current flows in the shield which in turn induced a equal and apposite current in the twisted pairs, this is not normally a problem because the twist cancels it out, however if there is a problem in the shield any ware along its length the problem will effect the signal in the data pairs. if the wrong connector is used, then you will end up with a load of noise on the pairs as the shield is broken.
 
STP also has a higher attenuation at high frequencies and longitudinal conversion loss decreases the effects of the shield leading to crosstalk
 
there are other reasons which escape me with a hangover
