Nowadays, in some parts of the world
people
 watch
crime
 shows and
crime
 novels more often. Because it is very exciting and attracts
people
.
Also
, in my opinion, it can be dangerous for society. As a human,
people
 always look for exciting things. Every
crime
show
 or novel has a lot of suspense which attracts the
people
 most. Please want to know what will happen next and what was the reason for that.
For
this
 reason,
crime
 novels and TV
crime
 dramas are really popular in a few areas.
For example
, The TV
show
 "Cross" was too popular because it had a lot of suspense and
people
 wanted to know who was the actual victim. But
at the end
 of the
show
, it reveals that the hero was the actual villain and the villain was the victim.
This
 made
people
 curious to see that
show
 daily and made the
show
 popular. In my opinion, it could be dangerous for society. Some research shows that a lot of
people
 get a great idea from those types of TV shows or books. They skip or fix those parts for why the actual novel's person gets caught and applied in real life.
For instance
, in 1983, a popular robbery happened in New York where a single person stole 17 million USD from a bank. But there was no evidence to catch the thief. It took 10 years to catch the thief and the police said that the thief got that idea from a
crime
 novel and was successful. In conclusion,
crime
 dramas and books are extremely popular in some continents of the world.
Although
 it is really exciting for many
people
, it has some disadvantages for society.
