Summary:

"This book examines the relationship between true crime and wrongful conviction in the age of streaming content. True crime plays a vital role in informing, entertaining, and developing public expectations surrounding justice. During the streaming era, true crime has emerged as a profitable option for content producers, leading to a form of engaged fandom entwined in the narratives of victims and criminals. The book is a culmination of research and analysis into the role of true crime in raising public awareness of narratives of wrongful conviction. It examines the effects on audience participation in seeking justice through digital enabled opportunities like crowd-sourcing, websleuthing, and online activism"-- Springer Nature Link
