There are many reasons that people take an interest in crime, but perhaps one of the most compelling is curiosity. The psychology of crime are fascinating to many people, and this interest can often lead to a fascination with crimes and their victims. But what are the psychological and emotional reasons behind people’s interest in crime? Listed below are some of the most compelling ones.
True crime stories tend to stir our emotions and intrigue our curiosity. Readers are fascinated by the detective’s work and the chance to learn about crime prevention. In addition, true crime stories provide an opportunity for people to explore their own preconceived notions of reality. As such, they often become obsessed with crime. This is not to say that crime is bad – far from it. But true crime is a compelling way to get a glimpse into the psychology of a crime.
Another reason for our interest in crime is our inherent empathy. As women, we may want to know what the killers were thinking when they killed. In addition, true crime might be one of the few outlets for the aggressive impulses that women are most susceptible to. Violence in video games, contact sports, and street fights are typically dominated by men. However, true crime has become increasingly popular among women.
