Some shows focus on real crimes rather than fictional ones. This isn't the same as RippedFromTheHeadlines, where the show creates a fictional counterpart to a real crime, complete with new fictional people to be part of it. True Crime shows aim to dramatize an event (more-or-less) exactly, with names only changed if the victims or their families request it.

* ''Aktenzeichen XY ... ungelöst'' (''File Number XY... unsolved'') is a German show aired on ZDF that mixes both flavours, but also [[TropeMaker practically started]] the whole ''TrueCrime'' genre to begin with. [[IncrediblyLamePun Has been on the run]] since 1967, and has a current case resolution rating of around 40%. Through a mixture of photofits, mugshots, re-enactments, dramatizations, and the presentation of evidence, the anchorman tells the public to call the local police dealing with each case. Occasionally also presents cases from a few years back. Regularly awards members of the public and law enforcement with the ''XY-Award'' to honour exemplary cases of courage.

'''Type 1: Calls for Aid''': The show is organized to see if the public can provide any clues or information the police don't already have to find a criminal who perpetrated an unsolved crime. For example ''Aktenzeichen XY ... ungelöst'', ''Series/CrimewatchUK'', and ''Series/AmericasMostWanted''.

'''Type 2: Retrospective''': Solved crimes or cold cases from many years ago are profiled. This overlaps with a documentary. For example ''Series/TheFirst48'', ''ForensicDetectives''.
