Abstract

This article draws on data from 18 semi-structured interviews with women which explore their relations with true crime television. Complicating popular and academic arguments that such relations operate pedagogically (that true crime offers a form of ‘safety advice’ for women), the data attests to the participants’ reflexive negotiation of ethics as a frame through which viewing investments are presented, regulated and articulated. Both contributing to and questioning feminist work which has explored the potential ‘reimagining’ of true crime within a post #MeToo context, the data offers insight into how these female viewers negotiate what they see as ‘ethical viewing’ of the genre and its relationship with questions of ‘witnessing’ and responsibility.

本文利用 18 个半结构式访谈的数据，探讨了女性与真实犯罪电视之间的关系。这些数据证明了参与者对伦理道德的反思性协商，并将其作为一种框架，通过这种框架来展示、规范和阐述观看投资。这些数据既是对女性主义作品的贡献，也是对女性主义作品的质疑，女性主义作品探索了在 #MeToo 事件后的背景下 "重新想象 "真实犯罪的可能性，这些数据让我们深入了解了这些女性观众是如何协商她们眼中的 "道德观看 "类型，以及这种类型与 "见证 "和责任问题之间的关系。
