True Crime
True crime is a non-fiction literary genre in which the author examines an actual crime and details the actions of real people. The crimes most commonly include murder, but true crime works have also touched on other legal cases. Still others revisit historic crimes (or alleged crimes) and propose solutions, such as books examining political assassinations, well-known unsolved murders, or the deaths of celebrities.

“
What are the consequences of illuminating human darkness for entertainment? When we do this, are we hindering the progress of those who focus on criminal justice reform?
