What Does Crime of The Century Really Mean?

Time Magazine put together a list of the top 25 crimes of the century, which were carefully picked based on many different characteristics. In a nutshell, crime of the century refers to an act that is so unique and so disturbing that it has the ability to affect people around the world on various levels. According to the article that Time put together, there are certainly some crimes that have been committed that are of far worse natures than what they have included in their list. The article also mentions that crimes like political assassinations were not considered for the list, mainly due to the fact that there has been a minor abundance of them.

The variety of crimes included in the top 25 is so widespread that the audience will get a taste of every sin or evil upon finishing the article. For example, the first crime of the century on this list refers to the kidnapping and brutal murder of Charles Lindbergh's infant child. The fact that an ordinary man had kidnapped and killed the child of such a heroic figure, causing most of the world to become deeply interested in any and all updates regarding the case, makes it such a unique crime. Another peculiar crime on the list is the case of a 34-year-old female teacher by the name of Mary Kay Letourneau having a sexually intimate relationship with a 13-year-old student, bearing 2 of his children, and eventually marrying him upon her release from prison. These are not crimes that you hear about every day.

I certainly did not agree with the entire list, and I felt that a few of the crimes were not very significant on a historical level. However, Time Magazine did do a great job choosing several different crimes that were so bizarre that they will most likely never be copied or replicated.
