Love, Lies & Crime: Are We Romanticizing Red Flags? | Profiling Evil

Toxic love, psychological warfare, and crime-fueled passion—true crime and romance novels have a lot more in common than you think! But where’s the line between compelling storytelling and glorifying manipulation? In this deep dive, criminologist Mike King explores the ethics of crime and romance writing, the dark side of love in fiction, and how to craft characters who survive toxic relationships instead of glorifying them. Are we feeding harmful fantasies or exposing dangerous realities? Let’s talk about it. Drop your thoughts in the comments!
