In many countries today, crime novels and TV crime dramas are becoming more and more popular. Why do you think these books and TV shows are popular? What is your opinion for crime fiction and TV crime dramas?

Recently, some writers received a lot of attention from the public by writing crime
novels
or TV dramas based on actual violations. Crime
novels
and TV crime shows are becoming more and more popular in many countries.
This
essay will identify the possible causes or reasons for
this
phenomenon and present my opinion on these kinds of
novels
and TV programs. There are several reasons behind
this
phenomenon.
First,
the description of violations in books and dramas these days is more vivid and realistic than ever, so it can easily attract public attention.
In addition
,
this
kind of media can be very fun somehow. In general,
such
content is thrilling or mysterious, so some
people
watch or read it to relieve stress in their spare time.
Second,
some
people
tend to make these dramas and books to publicize the various
crimes
that are happening or have occurred, and not to happen again. Sometimes
people
see it for the purpose of recognizing and educating. In
this
regard, I personally think it can be disadvantageous because it can motivate or inspire minors. Realistic descriptions or detailed explanations of criminal methods can educate young
people
with less sublime intentions and encourage them to commit copycat
crimes
.
For example
, there are many juvenile
crimes
in Korea, and more than 60% of them have committed
crimes
out of curiosity after reading movies or books related to them.
In addition
,
such
unpleasant content can cause extreme stress to viewers and readers, which is really bad for their minds. More importantly, the popularity of
such
novels
can glorify cruelty and numb violence. In conclusion, various reasons have contributed to its popularity in recent years. Some
people
enjoy that content to relieve stress, or producers create that kind of program or book to attract
people
's attention for high profits.
However
,
this
phenomenon seems negative not only to society but
also
to individuals.
