I get that, but realize it's still fake. if it's fiction, it's often not true to real life at all, and ever reality stuff is overdramatized and adds shock value.

we live in some of the safest times, but have constant feeling of being unsafe because of media.

I wonder sometimes if the reason so much of modern society is so paranoid and hateful is that we are incapable of admitting we live in a time of safety and plenty. We've built this massive social myth around us about struggling to survive, in America it is the pioneer myth even in their oldest cities and in the UK and continental Europe it is WW2 and the deprivations of that. We want to say we live up to the old tales of old grandpa, but admitting our safety and prosperity flies in the face of that so we construct artificial scarcity and demonise people who struggle to live with that artificial scarcity as being scroungers and skivers.

Maybe we fear crime so much because we know that, for the middle-middle class, we kind of deserve a bit of being knocked off. After all, we've deliberately stolen from the poorest in order to create our artificial middle class myth of struggle and triumph over poverty, perhaps we just fear that the poor and homeless in our society will do to us what we did to them and know we kinda deserve it.

I honestly think it's much simpler that that: if something bad happens, it's generally televised, put in papers, etc.

While, at the same time, if good stuff happens, it does not get attention. Like, we give media time to the guy who stabs a toddler but not to the guy who houses a refugee family, you know.

I find it interesting, because I live in a neighborhood with a reputation, and if it was as bad an some sources make it out to be, I(d have been stabbed, blown up and raped &0 times over now.

To be fair, even the barebones facts of a lot of true crime cases are absolutely chilling. The James Bulgur case, for example. Original Night Stalker. Hinterkaifeck. The Villisca axe murders.

Maybe check out Without a Trace? It's an older procedural about a team that handles missing persons cases, rather than murders, so a lot of times they find the people alive and successfully rescue them, iirc. I mean, it might not work if abduction and sometimes-death also screws with your fears, but it might be a lighter alternative that lets you enjoy a favorite genre again. Good luck!

I've also heard good things about Flashpoint, which is about a hostage rescue team specifically.

Same. Particularly seeing grieving loved ones and bystander casualties mess me up bad since depression. If you still want to watch crime dramas historical and period might be the way to go. Sometimes these still disturb me, but not nearly as much.
