I definitely think an obsession with true crime is kind of gross, privileged and disrespectful to the victims and their families and friends. But perhaps a little bit of true crime can be useful for satisfying natural human curiosity and teaching us a little about the extremes of human behavior (which is my excuse for loving The Devil in the White City even though I avoid most of this kind of thing like the plague. The upcoming TV adaptation, on the other hand… euugh.)
