Two shelves. Clear labels.
Crime Fiction contains original imagined mysteries inspired by broad crime themes, not reconstructions of identifiable real cases. Characters, dialogue and settings are fictional. True Crime Case Files are researched accounts: we do not invent scenes, thoughts, motives or dialogue. AI-assisted writing is disclosed; we do not claim a human author where none has been credited.
Crime stories, in context
ishowcrime is an independent publication by Sahib. This edition focuses on crime, courts, fraud, cybercrime, organised crime and public safety. Country and territory filters cover 249 places. A country appearing in the directory does not mean a story has already been published there.
Allegations and outcomes
Every case carries a stage such as Arrest, Charged or Sentenced. Arrests and charges are allegations, not convictions. We attribute investigator and prosecutor accounts to their sources. A reported court outcome is distinguished from an ongoing investigation. Source publication dates and briefing dates appear separately.
People and privacy
We avoid unnecessary private identifying details, graphic imagery and sensational reconstructions. Victims’ private addresses and contact information do not belong in our stories. We do not publish readers’ accusations about private people. Case summaries should respect applicable reporting restrictions and receive editorial review before publication.
Sources and illustrations
Factual stories link to their original reporting or official statements. Original fiction is labelled and does not pretend to have case evidence. Government and police statements represent the account of the issuing authority, not independent proof of every allegation. AI artwork is conceptual illustration, not evidence, event photography or a depiction of a suspect.
Coverage and updates
The launch edition contains a researched selection of crime briefings. Daily automated publishing is not active. Case developments require fresh source checks, including outcomes that change or clear allegations. Country tags describe the story’s locations and connections, not crime-rate rankings.
