Murderabilia

Murderabilia refers to collectibles or memorabilia associated with notorious criminals, especially those involved in murders, such as artworks, personal items, or crime scene artifacts. These items are often sought by collectors interested in criminal history or true crime, but their sale can be controversial and sometimes illegal, as they may violate laws related to profiting from crime or exploiting victims. The term highlights the ethical concerns around commodifying tragic events and the individuals involved. Overall, murderabilia is a niche area of collecting that intersects with criminal justice, morality, and legality.
