It seems that we just can't {get enough of it - turn on the television and you'll find any number of crime series and films, ranging from whodunits to detective mysteries, from crime dramas to documentaries, and aven realty shows (ry where the public gat to watch the police at work, There's crime on TV, in films, books, plays and even in songs and musicals. But why are we so fascinated byit? One aspect of crime that fascinates us are law-breaking ‘heroes’ ~ characters who do wrong for the right reasons or who attract our sympathy for their daring exploits. These date back hundreds of years and Robin Hood, first mentioned ( tround 1760, sone ofthe earest Bese berg telaw,Fobn Hood became a folk here wer he robbed the "cht halp the poor Inte 1600 patos, Including Edward Teach frown a3 Biackbeard), Heny Morgan and Geptin Kid, captured the pubic Imagination, inspiring vers such as Robot Lous Stevenson, author of Treasure lla!

In the 20" century, the ‘bank-robbers Bonnie and Clyde and the outlaws Jesse James and Ned Kelly became celebrated for their crimes. They hhave all made it on to the big screen more than once and featured in songs. In 1963 in Britain, a gang of 15 robbers stopped a train and stole £2.6 million pounds, an event which became known as ‘The Great Train Robbery’. The crime was so x outrageous that it attracted huge public interest and unsurprisingly led to many. ‘books and films and it even appeared in the computer game RuneScape. This trend of law-breakers with a somewhat romantic image ~ rightly or wrongly ~ still continues today. When a ‘gang of thieves committed the biggest heist in British history in London in 2015, stealing over £14 million worth of jewels, gold and cash, much of the discussion about the crime on social media sites Centred around who might play each of the gang members when the inevitable film was made! In contrast to the romanticism of these figures who we have a soft spot for, is a very different aspect of crime that also fascinates us: murder. Some call murder the oldest crime in history. The fact is that, year after year, shows, films and books are made about it. The viewing figures for TV shows such as CSI, Sherlock, Criminal Minds, Bones and Making A ‘Murderer demonstrate how popular they are - for example, over 19 milion people in America alone watched Making A ‘Murderer (compare that to ratings of 8 million for the most popular episode of Game Of Thrones and you get an idea of the scale of its popularity). ‘There are numerous theories about why shows, books and films about murder fascinate us. One theory is that it allows Us to play detective, following the protagonists as they investigate clues and trying to solve the crime ourselves. Another is that we love to figure out murderers and what motivates them to ‘commit such terrible crimes. Yet another theory is that watching and reading about ‘murder allows us to experience terror and horror in a non-threatening way, where the danger is exciting but not real. Perhaps it's a combination of all these factors. Whatever the reason, no doubt our fascination with crime is here to stay.30, v ra} CCS ees Choose the correct words.
