Document Summary
Analysis of true crime: observations on violence and modernity. In the text true crime: observations on violence and modernity, mark seltzer discusses in depth the history of modern day society and it"s relation to crime, media, and society at large. Seltzer portrays a fairly stark view on how interdependent crime, media, and society have become to one another. He approaches the subject in an opinionated formal academic approach that is clearly geared towards those who are well versed in criminology or entertain a deep interest in the sphere of criminology. This is evident by the use of terminology and references, which are abundant throughout the text. The various chapters deal with an assortment of sub-concepts and are often somewhat scattered and long winded. Seltzers ideas are almost lost in a sea of referencing and over exemplifying in an almost apocalyptic feel.
