About
"During the 1950s and 1960s True Detective magazine developed a new way of narrating and understanding murder. This publication was more sensitive to context, gave more psychologically sophisticated accounts, and was more willing to make conjectures about the unknown thoughts and motivations of killers than others had been before. This turned out to the start of a revolution." "The Rise of True Crime examines the various genres of true crime using the most popular and well-known examples. Despite its examination of some of the potentially negative results of the genre, it is written for people who read and enjoy true crime, and who wish to learn more about it."--Jacket.
