It is undeniable that popularity of internet and TV is touching sky. It is considered as one of the best source of entertainment and relaxation. When it comes to novels and TV shows ‘Crime’ is one of the popular topic. I believe primary reason of this trend is human mentality and reality of this shows. In my opinion, it is a positive trend which demonstrate the truth and consequences of criminality.

To begin with reasons behind this craze, according to me primary reason of this fashion  is our brain. We all have little insecurities for ourselves and our families.  Research of Algoma University Timmins show that majority watchers of a Netflix reality crime series said that they watch it only because they want to know different ways used by criminals to commit crimes and what are the ways to prevent it. Secondary reason I would mention here is we all love thrill and Adventure. It is very obvious that crime shows and novels are very thrilling and most of them have suspense till end.

Furthermore, as an optimistic person I believe that it a productive vogue. It is very apparent that most of us do not watch these shows in order to learn crimes but we watch it as a precaution. These kind of shows even have positive influence on people who want to commit crimes, for an instance if someone is watching crime show or reading criminal novel, they will also know the end. Because most of these novel and shows also mention the painful consequences of crime.

In conclusion, I would say human mentality is responsible for these trends and it plays absolute positive role in our society in both ways, whether precaution and prevention for the good ones or whether punishments for the bad ones.
