He then compares this to how America tell their police stories, stating, “I think that’s what American drama does well it makes the cops into proper characters”. He also reveals a vision he wishes these cop dramas would explore, “I want the cops to be as fucked up as the criminals.” “I see about the fucked up guys catch the more fucked-up guys for the rest of us, and we enter this uneasy sort of truce with them”, the author proceeds. Welsh elaborates on this statement and shares why he views British crime stories this way: “It’s all about catching the criminal, the good guys, the bad guys, and all the nice people getting to sleep easy in their beds. He also shares, “I’m not interested in traditional British cop dramas it was too procedural for me”. When asked if he feels there is any difference between British crime dramas and American ones, Welsh answers, “traditionally, there is”. During an interview with The Shortlisted Magazine, author Welsh shared his views on how British crime stories, which Trainspotting briefly becomes through the boys’ acts, can be separated from those of America through tone.
