Tortoise ThinkIn – Why do we fear criminals and love true crime?
Louise Hewitt and Camille Stengel of The School of Law & Criminology were invited to take part in a ThinkIn last week on the topic of why we fear criminals and love true crime.
Tortoise ThinkIn
Miscarriages of justice are, statistically speaking, a rarity. Violent crime is nasty and cruel. And yet the world of podcasts and documentaries has been revived by the true crime genre, much more so than film or books.

Does it obscure or illuminate human nature and the way the criminal justice system really works?
