= Countries History With Crime Fiction =

Indonesia
Indonesia was introduced to the genre by the Dutch who used it as a display of the current society’s view of life.

Dutch who controlled Indonesia at the time within the 19th century, were fascinated by Western educational and or psychological novels. Despite that, they weren’t so kind to the idea of crime fiction. However, the high population of the indigenous loved the genre.

“The indigenous authors well recognized and acknowledged the 'intellectual puzzle' as one of the most conspicuous features of the genre and therefore served its rules by constructing most unusual (and highly unlikely) crime case."

Their use of Crime Fiction offered to the indigenous, different ways of living that hadn’t been experienced.

One example of a book during the times was a series called The Patjar Koeing series of eight books. The series followed the lives of detective Randen Pandji Soebrata and his arch-nemesis Patjat Koeing

Moreover, crime fiction offered ways of interacting with emotions, a modern-day term known as coping. Indonesians had a very differing display in what they considered crime fiction compared to the rise of the genre.

Japan
Japan's crime fiction in the past and present day of its society, holds consistent propaganda, but while still in place opened borders to Western influences.

In the past Japan had been involved as an authoritarian government.

While the Japanese focused on the detective story of crime fiction with examples such as “Saikaku’s Trials in the Shade of a Cherry Tree.” Japan still held governance over how these detectives should be portrayed. In the past Japan had been involved as an authoritarian government.

“Told that, In the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when the country had opened up to foreign influences, with the monolithic, hierarchical nature of the state diminished and the notion of the individual accorded new importance, the focus of detective stories shifted to genuine mysteries in which a culprit must be identified.”

The citizens not being propped up for propaganda helped find new building blocks of crime fiction stories. But the idea that Japan moved away from detective novels can be shown in Japan's banning of such in 1941

Authors of the time would be scared to do anything but hold positive perspectives of policing within their crime fiction novels. To not disappoint the government of Japan.

Leaving the Japanese with crime fiction novels such as, “The Tale of Takahashi Oden, the She-Devil by author Kanagaki Robun in 1879. The story revolves around Takahashi Oden, the last woman to be executed by beheading. In this case, the crime fiction story was partial fact and fiction.

The authoritative ban on detective novels continues today! Japan within the genre offers what could be of the government, when it’s not seen to ever be possible.

Sweden
Sweden's crime fiction can be shown through first-generation, second-generation, and modern-day values.

First-generation crime fiction followed Western points of view to create the popularity of the genre in Sweden. This ended in the 1930s.

With books of reference, such as The Doll's House by Henrick Ibsen. Where it displays the Helmer family. Following a wife Nora, treated as a doll by her husband, Torvald. By the end of the series, Nora has committed many crimes for her husband. But realizing that he treats her poorly even after the fact of these acts, leaves Torvald. The book represents the first generation's mixture of sub-genres within crime fiction.

"The second generation tends to portray ordinary people, rather than superhuman master detectives and sensational international villains, and their stories bear a stronger resemblance to everyday Swedish life.”

However, modern-day versions of crime fiction within the country involve a format of trilogy.

For example, said by Burgmen again, that,  “Mons Kellen Toft made his debut writing in 2007, and Carin Gerhardsen and Viveca Sten made theirs in 2008, their novels were all considered the first installment of trilogies in Sweden.”(Burgmen, 2014)

The format rather very new, has no limits and shows that current Swedish audiences want continued refurbishing of a story and its characters. Overall, Sweden has gone through many cycles within the Crime Fiction genre.

Australia
Australia, couldn’t read their own crime fiction stories for the longest time, and until recently that had changed involving Australian and indigenous writers.

Australia had been embarrassed by its treatment of crime and its citizens. This embarrassment in the past created a system known as the “Traditional Market Agreement”. The agreement stopped publishers from selling in Australia and had listed closed markets to English publishers.

When this ensued it’s said by Stephen Knight, journalist and best-selling crime fiction author of Zombie Apocolypse that "Alongside this innovation, the old-style favorite crime novel, little heard of since the war, was newly realized by Garry Disher through his, tough evasive figure Wyatt, and by Robert G. Barret with his less than serious Les Norton stories.”

What grew as shown was the following of the detective through Disher as well as popularity with the criminal by Barret

= Children Crime Fiction = The crime fiction genre for children, is used for social justice purposes and formatted for a growing young brain.

Both children authors Astrid Lindgren and Patricia McCormick. Provide us with books such as Sold, I Am Malala by author McCormicks and Pipi Long Stocking, Ronia, and The Robber Daughter by author Lindgren.

Marked by Charlote Beyers, a senior lecturer in English studies, crime fiction specialist, and prize-winning author on higher education pedagogy. She explains that "Lindgren and McCormick’s novels show how, in shifting the focus from the detective figure to the victim of crime, children’s and young adult literature explores the impact of inequality and exploitation on children and juveniles, thereby serving a vital function in generating greater awareness in readerships of social justice issues affecting children locally and globally.”

As displayed, children's crime novels function as a healthy tool to understand social issues without having to turn to other outlets such as the Internet. That can be held with a wide range of inappropriate content.

The way this differs, from adult crime fiction depends on experience and age. Were adults understand more concepts of social justice, why crime may happen and can handle more serious storylines.

As displayed, the rise of audiobooks created a new wave of taking in novels.

A great example of this is shown in the crime fiction audiobook, A Time For Mercy, by John Grisham. The story revolves around Jake Brigance, an attorney. They assigned a case of a 16-year-old boy accused of murdering a local detective. Within the audio, characters have different voices to distinguish each other.
