In many nations around the world,
people
 are becoming more addicted to
crime
stories
 on television and in books.
People
 consume
crime
fiction
 because of its shock value;
however
, in my opinion, it has a detrimental effect on society. As we have an innate curiosity about
crime
.
This
 is probably because
crime
 is something that rarely happens to us and yet we hear about it all the time in newspapers and on television.
This
 builds curiosity. We are eager to know the modus operandi of the criminals. We like suspense and twists. When we read
crime
fiction
, we often assume ourselves to be the detective. We are eager to solve the
crime
. These
stories
 cater to the needs of
people
;
hence
, we read or watch them. In my opinion,
crime
fiction
 has both positive and negative aspects. It makes
people
 aware of the dangers they face. At one point, I used to watch the series
Crime
 Patrol on television. I found the
stories
 gripping.
On the other hand
, exposure to
crime
stories
 may make
people
 anxious about their safety. Excessive exposure can even make them depressed.
Crime
fiction
 influences potential criminals too. They can draw fresh criminal ideas from
such
stories
 and books. The overall effect is both positive and negative. In summary,
people
 enjoy
crime
fiction
 because they are intrigued by its suspenseful plots and gory details. In my opinion,
this
 trend has both positive and negative effects. It makes
people
 aware of the dangers they face but at the same time, it
also
 gives ideas to those with criminal minds.
