@mybarkingdogs @bookstodon I think it's really cool that you're asking this question! I recently stopped accepting translation work (film & television, SWE to ENG) with stories that featured police investigations.

Nordic Noir is VERY popular. People assured me THEIR project was "critical" of police, but there's something baked into the storyline that legitimizes the view that "we need cops"

@raemariz @mybarkingdogs @bookstodon think of archaeological cold cases, people investigating mass graves where the authority responsible for them is still in power (e.g. Sri Lanka after the civil war). It's this kind of journalistic truth will out investigatory uncovering, lacking the implied justified coercive enforcement that makes it copaganda, while keeping the journey of discovery.

Also relevant; people looking for disappeared relatives, vengeance tales

I've not seen it, but I'd love to read a story of transgression, investigation and accountability within a community, such as an abuser in a social network encircled by testimony and confronted, or an awful employer held to account for wage theft, bullying etc.

Crucial would be that the investigator isn't a regulator doing it for a job, otherwise they would be a cop by any other name, or utilising institutional or legal structures.

Kid movies do this!
