Across the globe, TV series and books about crime are increasing in popularity. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will explore the reasons as to why there is a surge in interest in
this
Linking Words
genre, and what I believe the impact on society will be if these shows are not regulated. The first reason why interest is rising is because people want to know how the criminal mind works.
This
Linking Words
is because viewers can
then
Linking Words
apply what they have learned on close contacts to see whether some of them fit into
this
Linking Words
mould
that is
Linking Words
created by the media.
For example
Linking Words
, Mindhunters is a Netflix show where FBI agents try to decipher a criminal's mind to prevent
further
Linking Words
negative outcomes from happening.
Hence
Linking Words
, it is dangerous that the layperson can start to apply these traits to normal individuals and ruin relationships that would
otherwise
Linking Words
be normal.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, it offers the same experience as reading a horror novel because these books trigger a fear of the unknown.
Although
Linking Words
most of them are written based on fiction, there is inspiration
that is
Linking Words
taken from real life.
For instance
Linking Words
, a writer may use a police report about the state of a murderer's house and include it in their story.
Therefore
Linking Words
, readers may start suspecting their neighbours if they find something that correlates with something they read in the book.
For instance
Linking Words
, a bad smell came from their neighbour's house for a week. In my opinion, portraying evil in different modes of communication can be damaging as consumers can get desensitized to it, like a horrible smell in the bathroom which is non-existent after a few minutes.
As a result
Linking Words
, people will start to think criminal activity is a normal part of life when it should not be. In conclusion, the rising consumption of materials related to crime is
due to
Linking Words
understanding why people break the law and to get the thrill from the fear of the unknown. In my opinion,
this
Linking Words
will end up breaking relationships and normalizing wrongdoing.
