This book explores contemporary American true crime narratives
across various media formats. It dissects the popularity of true
crime and the effects, both positive and negative, this popularity
has on perceptions of crime and the justice system in contemporary
America. As a collection of new scholarship on the development,
scope, and character of true crime in twenty-first century American
media, analyses stretch across film, streaming/broadcast TV,
podcasts and novels to explore the variety of ways true crime
pervades modern culture. The reader is guided through a series of
interconnected topics, starting with an examination of the
contemporary success of true crime, the platforms involved, the
narrative structures and engagement with audiences, moving on to
debates on representation and the ethics involved in portraying
both victims and perpetrators of crime within the genre. This
collection provides new critical work on American true crime media
for all interested readers, and especially scholars and students in
the humanities and social sciences. It offers a significant area of
research in social sciences, criminology, media and English
Literature academic disciplines.
