Myths, Monsters, and Media: The Psychology of True Crime
Know Media
Wednesday, October 07
6:00pm - 7:00pm
Central Library
Community 2Explore why we are drawn to rare crimes and learn to separate common myths from psychological realities.
Public fascination with serial murder has grown dramatically since the 1980s, fueled by media, pop culture, and the “CSI effect.”
This growing interest has spawned a massive wave of true-crime podcasts, hit television series, and a surge in forensic science majors—all despite serial murder remaining an exceptionally rare phenomenon. So why are we so captivated by it? This talk dives into the psychology behind our morbid fascination with extreme violence, separating popular media myths from the chilling realities of serial murder.
