Nowadays, books and tele serials inspired on crime are gaining popularity in our
society
. Going forward, in
this
 essay I will explore possible reasons and will share my unbiased opinion on
this
 topic.
First
 and foremost, people are bored of their mundane routine lifestyle and are always looking out for some thrill and adventure to kill the boredom. They are always searching for an entertaining and thrilling experience in novels and media.
For instance
, on a lazy weekend ,afternoon one will surely enjoy reading Sherlock Holmes or binging on Money Heist on Netflix.
Moreover
, these entertainment mediums are quite a learning experience in themselves. Good crime content helps an individual understand the different elements of
society
 and how they are linked to anti-social activities.
For example
, these days people are more aware of online frauds and how to prevent them. In my opinion, the growing awareness and interest in crime linked media is a good sign and should be promoted in an appropriate manner. Apart from being ,entertaining
this
 format can be equally educative. Media and publishing houses should create more and more content related to current criminal activities happening in
society
. They should focus on sharing a relevant message to the audience. A good television episode on online cheating can educate the elderly section of
society
 and prevent them from falling prey to
such
 fraudulent traps.
Nevertheless
, I
also
 feel that scenes in
such
 clips should be moderated by censor authorities. They can be categorised into suitable or not suitable for children. In conclusion, though I firmly believe that it is a good sign that
this
 genre of movies and book are getting popular in our
society
, as a responsible citizen we should only take good points from them.
This
 should not be a source of motivation for bad activities.
