It's good to have movies like this because ignoring a problem only makes it worse. People need to be aware that some people may kill you for no reason and you wont even see it coming.
heh, i love discovery ID, but i think that the documentaries and films OP is talking about do give some people ideas that they otherwise wouldn't have on their own. also the news has great influence. take school shootings for instance, it's not a common crime anywhere else in the world, it's a very american thing. see, i'm not saying it doesn't happen elsewhere, but if you look up statistics you'll find there have been 50+ shootings in america as opposed to almost 20 in other countries combined. i think seeing that it has been done does influence people to act on their rage or whatever their motives and feelings are
Yes, that is how I feel about it. I read and watch stuff about serial killers, and it has taught me many interesting things and facts. It's made me more aware about people around me, and hitchhiking is a bad idea,
as is meeting strangers off the internet, but everyone should know that.
Are movies about killers glorifying them?

I like watching crime documentaries.

It's because they give them so much attention here which creates copy cat killers.

I love meeting new weirdos but I'm a weirdo myself.
