This chapter explores the evolution of true crime in the digital age, where it has emerged as a hybrid genre blending journalism, entertainment, advocacy, and cultural commentary. Once rooted in non-fiction storytelling and journalism, true crime now occupies a complex space shaped by digital technologies and platformisation of media. Streaming true crime has evolved alongside a significant transformation of the media industry that is now dominated by algorithmic, data-driven platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube. The logics of these platforms have redefined how true crime is produced, distributed, and consumed with a prioritisation of audience engagement and profitability over journalistic rigour or ethical considerations. True crime’s popularity has surged through streaming services, podcasts, and social media, creating immersive experiences that blur our concept of justice. This shift has significant implications for cases of wrongful conviction where the commodification of real-life trauma raises ethical concerns about representation, memory, and the sustainability of treating crime as entertainment. Wrongful conviction stories are particularly vulnerable to the logics of platformisation that enables the constant repackaging of content, often without regard for the lived experiences of victims or the innocent. The chapter argues that true crime’s digital proliferation invites a criminological lens to assess its socio-cultural and legal impacts, how audiences engage with justice narratives and how these engagements can both challenge and reinforce systemic harms. The chapter calls for a deeper understanding of true crime as a mediated ecosystem of justice, where digital technologies shape not only public perceptions of crime but also the lived realities of those entangled in its narratives.
