Crime
Fiction
(Cozy
Mystery Fiction Vs Hard-Boiled Fiction)
Crime fiction
is essentially a genre that deals with crime, its investigations, criminals and
motives. It focuses on the violation of the legal, morals and social values of
a country (Scaggs,2005, p.2) . Seago (2014) points out
that crimes and criminals can indicate what each civilisation views as legal
and acceptable. It is also about understanding how and why the crime happened
and how a detective can solve the case (Jalová, 2007). In crime fiction, the writer
is interested in “characterisation, psychological motivation”, and trivial
details of everyday life (Jalová, 2007). Mostly, crime fiction
stories and novels have a common structure. It begins with a crime, usually a
murder; then there is an investigation; and finally there is a judgement and
punishment which often end with the arrest or death of the criminal (Ibid,
2007). The hero of crime fiction is
usually a detective who acts upon the rules of logic rather than emotions. He
often has a friend who helps him to “reveal the culprit”
(Jalová, 2007). Yet,
in some novels and stories the hero is not the detective but the criminal
himself.
