Edge of Your Seat: Listen to Media and Crime. Women's Fascination with True Crime Now
by Unknown
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Law and Delinquency, grade: 1,0, Eötvös Loránd University (Faculty of Law), course: Criminology, Crime and Criminal Justice, language: English, abstract: Aren’t females themselves the archetypical victim in true-crime stories? So why would they enjoy listening, watching or reading about the horrible things rapists and serial killers do to their targets? With this paper, I seek to shed light into that paradox. I want to explain why true-crime media is specifically popular amongst women. So firstly, I will give a quick introduction into the rising popularity of true-crime media. Secondly, I will explore as well as explain the gender gap in true-crime consumption with the aid of various social psychological, sociological and criminological research and present a profile of the typical female true-crime fan. I will finish off with a summary.
