I think there are certainly monstrous people (see Thompson and Venables) but these are such rare cases and true crime channels make it look like the norm. It creates paranoia. Some of my relatives think if you let your child go outside alone even for a second they'll be kidnapped and murdered. They also think porn and drugs are responsible for such an "increase" in crime when in reality its probably that crime reporting in the way it's currently done wasnt a thing before 80s
Its not just true crime channels but also the news.
