Why are we so fascinated by true crime? From documentaries to podcasts, crime stories continue to capture massive audiences. But what makes this genre so irresistible? And what are the psychological and societal effects of our obsession with crime?

At this symposium, we will dive into the world of true crime with three inspiring speakers:
* Dr. Jiska Jonas
* Prof. Dr. Janine Janssen
* Dr. Suzanne Oosterwiik

Together, we will explore where this attraction comes from, the role of the media, and how our fascination shapes our understanding of criminal behavior.

The symposium will provide space for questions, discussion, and deeper insights. An evening for anyone curious about the psychology behind crime and our obsession with it.

This symposium is organized by Complex in collaboration with Studium Generale
