True Crime: History in Images

Throughout history, we have always been fascinated with crime – speculators can speculate, theorists can theorise and gossip is rife.

The scale and variety of organised and secret crimes from across US history mean their nature can vary: they can be dark, are sometimes bewildering and are frequently eye-opening.

Crime can truly come from all areas of society. See content from a few of the most infamous throughout history in the lightboxes below.
