When it comes to courtroom procedurals, few are as well-known as the "Law & Order" franchise on NBC. Over three decades on the air, the franchise highlights the inner workings of the criminal justice process. Each episode features a compelling case, many of which have a basis in real-life crimes or current events. Along the way, audiences meet talented detectives and passionate prosecutors that strive to apprehend criminals and hold them responsible for their actions. In most cases, justice prevails, and criminals receive lengthy prison sentences.
Although all the crimes featured in the various incarnations of "Law & Order" are awful in their own right, some of the crimes featured in the franchise are truly horrendous. These crimes often stem from predators who target the most vulnerable members of society, claim multiple victims, or act out of greed. Unsurprisingly, the episodes that include these crimes are among the hardest to watch, but they are also undeniably compelling and memorable.
Many of these perpetrators are vicious and clever, often going to great lengths to evade law enforcement and concoct creative schemes. Other criminals commit crimes after being pushed to their breaking point and are unable to make better choices. Regardless of the motivation, their terrible acts represent the worst crimes in the history of "Law & Order."
