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?
题目大意
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？
思路解析
对于这个题目，我们可以一起来看下，在媒体上披露犯罪细节会有哪些好处和坏处。
好处主要有三方面。
一是可以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；
二是震慑潜在犯罪分子、预防犯罪，比如你看过这两年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，老师相信正常人是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。
三是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。
坏处主要有两方面。
一是处理不当，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。
二是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。
三是造成社会恐慌，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。
那回到这道题目本身。对于一种主观的观点表态，一般建议选择反对：因为大多数主观的结论都会有逻辑上的漏洞，所以反对在论证上更有合理性，对于同学们来说会相对更好写。
那在这道题目在反驳上可以选择2个切入点：
1. 推翻题目的前提，从而推翻结论——即题目前提中的bad consequences并非一个客观事实，而是出于主观的误解；那基于错误的前提得出的结论，就是站不住脚的；
2. 或推翻题目因果之间的必然性——即是否要禁止披露犯罪细节，不仅仅取决于这样做的后果，而应该考虑其他因素。比如针对不同犯罪的处理手法不同，比如针对诈骗，媒体应该尽可能报道来让普通人拥有更好地防范意识。
提纲
范文示例
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.
