Why are we so obsessed with true crime media? | Natacha Harding | TEDxWinchester

What does “true crime” really mean? In this powerful talk, a legal educator and crime writer unpacks how our obsession with crime stories—from podcasts to documentaries—shapes our understanding of justice, truth, and harm. Natacha draws on her experience in law, storytelling, and education, challenges us to question whose truth we’re consuming, and what we’re leaving out. This talk is a call to look beyond stereotypes, reflect on the systems we trust, and explore crime stories with deeper empathy, curiosity, and care—for the sake of both truth and those whose lives are shaped by it. Natacha Harding currently teaches and researches topics around miscarriages of justice, victim-survivor politics and narratives; and crime fiction. Having been a lifelong consumer of crime fiction, Natacha has long been an advocate for the role of storytelling in criminal justice (in its many forms), leading to the talk she is giving this year. Myth busting and challenging preconceived notions of experience of criminal harm in true crime and crime fiction stories is at the centre of her most recent projects. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
