TEDx TALKS
Why are we fascinated by violence?
Does crime writing glamourise violence? Do novels that feature murder mysteries desensitise us to the plight of victims in the real world? Why do we love crime thrillers so much? These questions - and many more - are discussed in my TEDx talk YouTube TEDx
​
The author of dark crime novels and a former lawyer reveals the roots and consequences of human fascination with violence and suffering.
Helen Fields, a former criminal and family law attorney, has transformed her extensive 15-year experience into a career as a crime novelist. She offers readers a fascinating insight into the minds of criminals while capturing the nuances of the legal system. Her books are not only thrilling but also enriching, as they reveal the complexities of human psychology and court proceedings. More than a million copies of her books have been sold. Today, she is a renowned author of 12 dark crime novels. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
