As someone who watches true crime I would say (from my perspective) it’s less about the institution and more about the forensics process. ACAB is about the system, but true crime is generally about victims and/or perpetrators. True crime docs can also give insight into how corruption in the force can occur. It’s fear in a controlled environment (the screen) so naturally we are drawned to it. Does that make sense?
no, i totally understand that. i’m a crim major psych minor, so i find this thought process interesting. the system is corrupt asf, i know first-hand how flexible the rules are when it comes to people who work in the field. just wanted to know what people’s takes were for this ^^
