CRIME - The Politics of Profiting from Victim Porn examines how crime is increasingly exploited as spectacle, currency, and leverage by media actors, advocacy industries, and political operators. Instead of reducing harm, tragedy is often repackaged into narrative, funding, and influence, where outrage outperforms solutions and victims become tools in ideological campaigns. The book dissects incentive structures that reward emotional theatre over prevention, showing how distorted reporting and policy responses can unintentionally sustain the very problems they claim to fight. Grounded in security practice, behavioural insight, and incentive analysis, it argues that crime declines when truth replaces performance, responsibility replaces rhetoric, and outcomes matter more than headlines.
