Armchair Detective: An Exploration into True Crime Media

True crime is one of guiltiest pop culture pleasures. From documentaries to fictional series to more podcasts than you can count, we have a morbid curiosity with some of history's most heinous crimes. The upcoming release of Netflix's Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which features re-enactments of the events and court proceedings of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer has caused social media uproar, with many questioning the ethics of "murder media." This week, we are taking a deep dive into what true crime is, how we began our taboo love affair with it, and what happens when we over consume it.
