Who runs this

CrimeAtlas is an independent educational project created, curated, and maintained by Sašo Špacapan — a personal undertaking, not a company, news organization, or government body. Every case is researched and added by hand.

How we research and source cases

Cases are compiled from publicly available sources and cited so you can verify them. We present cases factually and respectfully, and treat every entry as a living document. Full details — our sourcing standards, accuracy and corrections policy, and how we handle sensitive content — are on our editorial standards page.
