Posts depicting real life murderers, including serial killers and mass shooters, but may also depict victims of infamous cases. A focal interest of hybristophiles, people who are attracted to those who commit crimes.
Be careful when uploading under this tag as true crime artists may sometimes include a photo inset of the person when they were a minor as photos of real life minors are prohibited against Danbooru's terms of service.
Do not use this tag under movies based on real life events such as Elephant and Zero Day since their perpetrators and crimes are fictional. In addition, do not use this tag under non-murderous perpetrators (example: Jeffrey Epstein) since true crime specifically refers to murderers or victims of murder cases instead of general criminals.
In regards to victims of murder cases, only use this tag if the victim is solely or primarily known for their murder case. If they were a public figure beforehand, (example: Christina Grimmie) do not use this tag.
In regards to perpetrators who were public figures prior, (example: D4VD) only use this tag if the post was created after the crime and references it.
