perfect crime
Perfect crime is a colloquial term used in law and fiction (especially crime fiction) to characterize crimes that are undetected, unattributed to a perpetrator, or else unsolved as a kind of technical achievement on the part of the perpetrator. In certain contexts, the concept of perfect crime is limited to just undetected crimes; if an event is ever identified as a crime, some investigators say it cannot be called "perfect".〔Timmermans, Stefan. (''Postmortem: how medical examiners explain suspicious deaths'' ), University of Chicago Press, 2006, p. 157. ISBN 0-226-80398-8〕
A perfect crime should be distinguished from one that has merely not been solved yet or where everyday chance or procedural matters frustrate a conviction. There is an element that the crime is (or appears likely to be) ''unable'' to be solved.
== Overview ==
As used by some criminologists and others who study criminal investigations (including mystery writers), a perfect crime goes unsolved not because of incompetence in the investigation, but because of the cleverness and skill of the criminal. In other words, the defining factor is the primary causative influence of the criminal's ability to avoid investigation and reprisal, and not so much the ability of the investigating authority to perform its duties.
Would-be perfect crimes are a popular subject in crime fiction and movies. They include ''Rope'', ''Double Indemnity'', ''Strangers on a Train'', ''The Postman Always Rings Twice'', ''Witness for the Prosecution'', and ''Dial M for Murder''.
