Интерес к насилию не связан с желанием стать свидетелем жестокости.
This article from Russian news source Mail.ru discusses a study by sociologists at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) about why people are interested in stories about serial killers.
The study found that young Russians are drawn to these stories for two main reasons: cognitive curiosity (wanting to understand the psychology of criminals) and emotional excitement (seeking strong feelings that might be lacking in everyday life).
Importantly, the study emphasizes that this interest does not equate to a desire to witness violence or commit crimes.
