Article Abstract:
Artefacts relating to real-life crime are extremely popular in the United States. A new magazine called 'CrimeBeat' covers all aspects of criminal information from detailed accounts of gory cases to sundry crime trivia. Its editor claims the magazine has an instructive function, alerting its readership to violent crime. There is so much media coverage of crime in the US that it, and particularly its perpetrators, have attained show business status. Criminals can even receive payment for contributions to books or films.
