科技的快速发展对社会各方面的影响日益显著，这其中也包括了对犯罪活动模式的影响。

继上一场犯罪原因的讨论后，本次继续对犯罪相关话题进行讨论，探讨科技发展是如何影
响犯罪率的，具体来说，是降低了犯罪率还是反而为犯罪提供了新的机会。本题在
2021/9/26 出现过，第二段可以从利用监控，人脸识别等技术预防或打击犯罪的角度解释。
第三段可以从电信诈骗网络犯罪及匿名非法交易的角度去表达。
Some people think technology development decreases crime, while others believe it actually
encourages crime. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

第二段：科技降低犯罪率的观点

支持理由 1：科技如视频监控和大数据分析帮助警方实时监控犯罪活动，提前预防犯罪。
Advanced Surveillance: Technological tools like CCTV cameras and data analytics help law
enforcement monitor criminal activities in real-time and prevent potential incidents before they
occur.
支持理由 2：科技工具如人脸识别和指纹识别提高了警方破案的效率和精确度。
Efficiency in Law Enforcement: Innovations such as facial recognition and automated fingerprint
identification systems have significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of crime-solving by
police forces.

第三段：科技鼓励犯罪的观点

支持理由 1：网络犯罪和电子诈骗的增加，这些犯罪形式在科技较少发达的年代几乎不存
在。
Increase in Cyber Crimes: The rise of the internet and digital platforms has led to new forms of
crimes such as cyber fraud and identity theft, which were virtually non-existent before the digital
age.
支持理由 2：科技使得犯罪行为更加隐蔽，例如使用加密通信和匿名浏览技术进行非法交
易。
Concealment of Criminal Activities: Technologies like encryption and anonymous browsing tools
enable criminals to carry out illegal activities with a much lower risk of being traced or caught.
