Re: True Crime Opinions – General

I hate the genre and I don't understand why it's so popular. I mean, I understand the psychology of enjoying those shows, but I don't really get why it's such a popular genre lately.

I enjoy violent movie/shows and I guess I've watched some loosely inspired by some true cases (I usually don't notice because I'm not American and I watch mostly American or English media), but for me violence should be "fictional", with no real victims.
I don't really enjoy learning about real cases. Even on the news.

I think obsession with crime, violent crime, murder, murder victims, etc is more or less a constant in society

"True crime" is one particular instantiation of that - the idea of organizing all of that stuff into the specific genre of true crime is a new way of presenting that information - but that's the only part of it that's new.

Yeah, I don't think a fascination with morbid things and crime is a recent trend. People wrote murder ballads, they made plays based on lurid crimes, hell, people used to go to public executions and take home souvenirs.

/shrug For you, the fictional aspect of violent media is what mitigates the violence. For some true crime fans, there's a certain sense of security in knowing that violence took place, but there are also people trying to figure out what happened and who did it so that there can at least be justice for the victim and future lives saved. There's also the scientific aspect of forensics, which a lot of people enjoy on its own merits and because it's an invaluable tool in investigation.

IDK personally my knowledge of true crime stuff has generally not increased my confidence in the competence and dogged commitment of the police

If you consume true crime media regularly, you'll know of plenty of cases where the police did a crappy job of investigating, collecting evidence, conducting interviews, etc. Absolutely terrible travesties of justice. And there are also cases that get solved because someone (not always a cop, but sometimes a cop) was sensible enough to pick up a piece of evidence that didn't look important but ended up being vital, processed it properly and did their damn job like they're supposed to. I'm not a fan of law enforcement, but I'll give credit where credit is due.

But you'll note in my comment I didn't specify police. I said there are people trying to figure out what happened, which can be comforting to many. That includes journalists and investigative reporters, forensic scientists, even amateurs and the victim's own family members who refused to give up until they had answers. True crime has examples of all those things happening.
