“Taken within the current ’true crime’ boom, where stories of serial killers or outlier cases are commonly focussed on, there is a concern that the cumulative effect might be to increase fear of crime significantly.“This can have numerous effects, such as limiting a person’s sense of freedom in the world and prompting viewers to endorse harsh punishments, where rehabilitative efforts might in fact be more effective in reducing crime.
Broadcaster Nicky Campbell gave evidence to the inquiry last week, speaking himself of “Savile-scale” abuse at his former school Edinburgh Academy in the 1960s and 70s.
