Crime of the century (idiom)
"Crime of the century" is an idiomatic phrase used to describe particularly sensational or notorious criminal cases.〔
*(Top 25 Crimes of the Century ) Time Magazine〕 In the United States, it is often — though not exclusively — used in reference to the Lindbergh kidnapping. However, the phrase was in popular use much earlier in the 19th-century and has been used repeatedly ever since.〔〔
*Henry Hunt. (''The crime of the century; or, The assassination of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin'' ), H. L. & D. H. Kochersperger, 1889. via Internet Archive〕
Other criminal cases that have also been described as "the crime of the century" include the Leopold and Loeb case〔Hal Higdon, ''Leopold and Loeb: The Crime of the Century'', University of Illinois Press, 1999 (originally published 1975). ISBN 0-252-06829-7.〕 and the Richard Speck case.
