Abstract This research paper explores the influential portrayal of crime in films and its impact on youngviewers' understanding of crime trends and techniques. Over the years, crime films have evolvedfrom depicting straightforward villains to presenting complex antiheroes, often glorifyingcriminal behaviour. This shift has significant implications for young audiences observing crime,viewing it as an exciting and adventurous pursuit rather than a serious moral failing. Thisglamorization can lead young viewers, especially college students, to see crime as a practicablemeans of achieving success and rebellion against social norms. The influence of peer discussionsamong young audiences further normalizes these perceptions, creating a collective understandingthat may blur the lines between right and wrong. The paper emphasizes the need for media literacyprograms to help young people critically analyze the media they consume, encouraging a moreinformed perspective on crime and its consequences. This study aims to provide filmmakers withinsights into their portrayals' social responsibilities and advocate for educational initiatives thatequip young audiences with the tools to navigate the problems of crime in media. Byunderstanding the impact of crime films, the research contributes to a broader conversation aboutthe role of film in shaping social values, particularly among youth.
