Most likely because violence, just like sex, sells. Combine the two and you are bound to have a winner.
The reason it sells is because everyone, including you, deep down fantasises about it. Anyone saying they haven’t thought of some perverted stuff or wanting to slap/strangle or do something worse to that person that annoys you is a liar.
The difference between normal people and the criminals is that normal people leave it in fantasy world (or find a willing partner in the perversion case.)
Movies/pictures and games allow you to experience this base emotion without hurting anyone. It’s a win win situation which should be praised instead of cursed.
