Crimes of the Centuries
Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction.

The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.
