I finally saw a copy of this in the wild and, much to my surprise… … it was far far WORSE than my grim expectations. Which … I didn’t think was possible.pic.twitter.com/q4wETwUWrx
At a time when we face a spike in homicides fueled by dislocations of an epochal pandemic, increasingly fraught police-civilian interactions, large gun purchases, and much more, this magazine focuses mostly on… psychopaths. Reducing a complex social failing to personal illness.pic.twitter.com/9rws11zBw5
“Criminal behavior” as a mental pathology, not as partially socially constructed behaviors that are tied to age and environment, and shaped by social interactions and opportunities. Psychopaths and crimes of passion.pic.twitter.com/l1LcrDlg9l
Because I can be stupidly optimistic sometimes, the title of the second half of the issue—“A Cultural Obsession”— gave me hope. “Crime as Entertainment”? The Dick Wolfication of how we view the crim legal system is a big issue! Maybe… some nuance here? Ha! Hahahaha. Ha.pic.twitter.com/QIWwtD87lk
It was mostly just summaries of all the shows you can watch to get your real- and not-real crime fixes. So… pouring oxygen, not water, on the flames.pic.twitter.com/iy6GuXICc4
The opening piece was especially… special. “Every case we report … becomes its own morality play, complete with heroes, villains, and victims.” So, guess we AREN’T going to hear about how the offender/victim split is a false dichotomy with real costs.pic.twitter.com/D9O8lx5DQc
I get that supermarket check-out magazines aren’t going to have footnotes and graphs pulled from seminal papers by Sampson and Loeb (tho they should, damnit!). But this sort of stuff is actively harmful. Sigh.
Bad people have different brain chemistry than us normie goodniks? What makes a bad brain? Can bad brains turn good or they stay one way from birth? Genetics? (Eugenics?!?)

I assumed this was a magazine from the 80s or 90s until I zoomed in on the date.
I did too, the first time I saw a pic of it #onhere. “Look at the craziness I found in my grandparents’ attic!” I thought the tweet would say.
Nope. On sale thru October 2021. So depressing.
