AB Taking a real-crime documentary concerning Jimmy Savile in the UK as a case study, the chapter attempts to make sense of a rather complex social relationship between the media, the public, the victims and the deceased-accused. The discussion questions the social usefulness of aggressive media driven by market targets; it submits that the commercialisation of the victims by these crime documentaries encourage social righteousness and did little to support sex crime victims.
