Nothing against the book, really. Just not my type of read. It was like reading a bunch of research papers and i found myself skimming to the end just to finish. Just didn’t hold my attention

I thought this was a great collection of thoughtful essays, though it was odd to me that race wasn't addressed in law enforcement until the very last essay.

This is a great collection of articles relating to different aspects of the most recent true crime wave of the 2010s. It includes articles about crimes, how crimes have influenced culture and how culture influences crime, the nature of crime, as well as questions regarding the ethics of true crime as entertainment.
