This book explores the recent surge in true crime by critically
exploring how murder and violence are represented in documentaries,
films, podcasts, museums, novels and in the press, and the effects.
From a range of contributors, it touches on a wide variety of
topics overall and illustrates how examining true crime across the
changing popular media landscape can contribute to important
debates in contemporary culture and society. It encourages a
critical eye towards understanding the harmful stereotypes, myths
and misinformation that popular media can bring. Arranged into four
sections, including: true crime trials, representations of victims,
the consumption of serial killer narratives, and true crime spaces,
each chapter explores different themes and topics across
traditional and newer media. These topics include: emotion and
appeals for justice in Making a Murderer, #MeToo and misogyny in
crime narratives, true crime journalism being exploitative, the
ethics of consuming dark tourism and the appetite for true crime,
live streamed murder, and the ways in which true murder accounts
might lend insight into other types of crime such as domestic
violence and stalking. This book stimulates discussion on
undergraduate courses in crime, media and culture as well as in
film and media studies, and it also speaks to those with a general
interest in true crime.
