The feeling of running my hands over vintage leather and ripping open the next package after hearing the sweet chime of my doorbell ringing, filled me with hunger.

Do they educate audiences on possible crimes and give meaningful advice on how individuals can protect themselves? Or do they play to some malicious desire and obsession with dark and harmful content as forms of entertainment? Have they inadvertently
