What is it about true crime stories that make us seem addicted? Well, if you think like me, regular life is boring, so why not dwell into the minds of the criminally insane. Or, if you think like Clinical and Corporate Psychologist Dr. Mantell, this more of “psychological voyeurism.” We are interested in the mindset of the criminally insane and drives their urges to commit such heinous acts.
Either way. This stuff is awesome, which is why I dedicated this blog to one of my favorite fascinations.
Down Right Criminal is a blog made for avid true crime fans who love to learn about famous trial cases, notorious serial killers, unsolved cases, and so much more involving the criminal justice system.
My love of true crime started when my mother and I would watch a show on Oxygen called Snapped, which the premise was based on the stories of a man murdered by their wives or girlfriend. While ten year old me didn’t understand at the time why my mom enjoyed shows like this, I was addicted.
According to an article by the Vulture, the “true crime boom” became predominant in the mid to- late 2010’s in pop culture. Since then, there has been an endless amount of content being portrayed in the media with the true crime genre from a podcast, tv shows, documentaries, and films.
I, for one, find all this incredibly fascinating, and I hope you will share my interest as well.
