With over 80% of Americans consuming “true crime” entertainment, the industry has grown to an estimated $2 billion in value. For all the fun we have indulging in it, are there costs as well? How is our consumption of true crime impacting us? Dr. Dawn Cecil, professor of Criminology at the University of South Florida, will help us unpack the answers to these questions in a talk exploring both the cultural and psychological impact of what has become one of American’s favorite pastimes.
