According to Wikipedia "Perfect crime is a colloquial term used in law and fiction principally 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."
But Is this definition is good enough? Is it really that fictional in terms? If Undetected crime is a perfect crime then I would say we can see it every now and then. Like not paying the tax even if it is small, destroying public property, etc. The whole point is i think the definition of the perfect crime is all wrong to begin with.A stricter definition of the term indicates that for a crime to be truly perfect, the crime should never be detected at all, removing all possibility that a person will ever be caught or tried for a crime. This is not necessarily any one particular crime, but can refer to any sort of criminal act that defies solution. The perfect crime typically reflects upon the criminal, and does not serve to indicate poor performance on the part of those investigating the crime.
In an anime that I watched long ago in which a boy asks his mother ' What is a perfect crime?' then she replies that even in fictions the perfect crime doesn't exists because the fiction is to enjoy that means the crime will get eventually solved, making it just a crime and she adds more by saying that perfect crime won't even become a story. She ask her son a question that what are the bare essentials of a story? and he replies "Introduction, Development, Turn and Conclusion". She then replies nonchalantly that without an introduction story wouldn't even begin. she explains it in real scenario that nothing happens(seems to happen) means no intro, so there will be no crime(Again seems) so there is no need for a detective to solve and without the solution there is no conclusion. So this was her definition of perfect crime.
Simply nothing happened so nothing would start, nothing starts so no development, no development so no turn and at last no conclusion. The perfect crime does not even get noticed at all to put it in simple words it is invisible.
Enjoy reading and be open to the things that world has to offer.
