1 题目大意
Some people think that the detailed description of crimes on newspaper and TV has bad consequences, so this kind of information should be restricted in the media. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
有人认为媒体披露犯罪细节有负面效果，所以应该禁止。同意反对？
2 思路
好处：
有助于普及法律知识，提高群众的法律意识。比如近几年对于酒驾和醉驾的危害性的大力宣传，让普通人开始不再犯类似错误；
震慑潜在犯罪分子、预防犯罪，比如之前对于乘客妨碍公交车司机造成危害的细节和处罚结果的报道，正常人是绝对不会想尝试去抢方向盘的。还有对于贪腐和贩毒两类犯罪细节和结果的报道，都可以有效震慑有这个打算的人。
提高普通人对犯罪的警惕和防范，特别是对诈骗犯罪的细节披露，能够让普通人明白诈骗手法从而进行有效防范。
坏处：
如果处理不当，对受害人、罪犯或者当事人的家属都可能会造成二次伤害，包括安全方面、隐私和精神状态。
对暴力犯罪或者纵火案之类细节描述，可能会造成模仿犯罪，进而提高了犯罪率。
造成社会恐慌，比如之前连续出现的杀妻案和杀害女友案，会让女生对男性同胞的信任度下降；前两年连续对于公交车纵火的报道，其实会让乘客对公交车的安全性产生担忧。

While some people consider disclosure of crime details in media detrimental and appeal to restrict the act, I will say it is an erroneous conclusion based on the presupposition of individuals.
It is not difficult to understand why some people decry in-depth coverage of illegal behaviors on newspapers or TV. From their perspective, media expounding on such topics inevitably results in detrimental consequences, whether these be the safety of witnesses, the privacy of all individuals involved, or particularly, the hurt to victims. In this respect, many self-claimed moralists go as far as to call for restriction on public media elaborating on the details of criminal activities.
Plausible though the above logic seems, however, I will consider it illogical to prohibit descriptions of crime details due to apprehension about their ramifications. The problem with the claim in the topic resides in its premise – the so-called ‘bad consequences’ represents something more of a personal presupposition instead of a de facto evidence. Nevertheless, whether it is detrimental to publicize the detailed information of criminality should be domain specific and context dependent. While the detailed illustration of violent crimes such as rape or torture may seem repulsive to victims and the public, the same case doesn’t apply to other situations such as financial fraud – only by publicizing all details of such crimes can the majority be alert to potential pitfalls.
Taken collectively, it is my conclusion therefore, it is a presumption to consider media exploring crime details negative and jump to the denial of the practice.
