    So you love true crime! There's quite a community of you these days listening to podcasts, reading books, watching documentaries.

    But why??

    You might have heard of the CSI effect when the forensic science TV show was at its most popular leading to a boom in people wanting to study forensics. But now that true crime is so wide reaching, are we seeing similar trends in people turning to criminology as a profession?

    But also... where has this love of the creepy, the scary, the true crime come from?

    In episode one, Dr Alex Simpson (criminologist) and Kia Handley (true crime fan) get into the nitty gritty of the love of true crime and the flow on effect we are seeing from that.
