Why do you think people are so fascinated by crime and criminals? What is it about people like Ed Gein or about crime/law television and movies that we find interesting?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that this is attributed to several factors like the human psychology and the morbid curiosity, we as humans have a natural curiosity about the dark aspects of life, it could be the fear and thrill, crime stories evoke a range of emotions like suspense, fear and excitement, it cold be too for sense of justice and resolution, crime narratives often involve that, people are drawn to stories where criminals are brought to justice and order is restored, It satisfies our innate desire for justice and closure in a world that sometimes feels chaotic or just for entretainment.

It's important to note that while many people are interested in crime and criminal stories, this does not imply approval or glorification of illegal activities. It is the psychological and intellectual aspects of understanding the human mind, exploring justice, and experiencing emotions that often drive the fascination with crime.
