The Crime Library is a website documenting major crimes, criminals, and trials, forensics, and criminal profiling from books, police reports, crime television shows, and writers. It is owned and operated by truTV, a cable network which is part of Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting System.
Many of its articles are about recent crimes in the United States but the site also contains information about historically notorious characters of various countries, particularly the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia dating back to the 15th century. Focuses of the site include serial killers, gangsters, celebrity crimes, cults, spies, and terrorists.
The Crime Library was founded by Marilyn J. Bardsley in January 1998. Court TV, forerunner of truTV, purchased the Crime Library in September 2000, the same year now sister website The Smoking Gun was acquired by Court TV. It is currently hosted on truTV's Web site.
