I'm not finding many new straight crime markets but the horror business seems to be booming at the moment and a lot of crime stories can trip over into this category.
First up, we have Death Head Grin. This is a non-paying market looking for horror but open to other genres. They take flash to 1000 words, shorts up to 7000 and poetry. Reprints are also welcome here. You can find all the details here http://www.deathheadgrin.com/id85.html
Blood Bound Books has listed several new anthologies. The pay is a flat rate of $5. You can find all the various calls here http://www.bloodboundbooks.net/submissions.html
DF_underground is looking for horror and dark fiction. The pay is $5 for stories up to 1000 words and $10 for 1000 to 5000 words. They also pay $5 to $7 for poetry depending on the length. http://www.df-underground.com/Submissions.html
Dreams of Decadence has reopened. They're looking for shorts of 1000 to 7000 words with a pay rate of 1 to 7 cents per word in the urban fantasy and paranormal romance genres. Reprints welcome if they're over two years published. http://www.dreamsofdecadencemag.com/
And finally, we have Aberrant Dreams looking for spec-fiction of fantasy, sci-fi, and supernatural horror of less than 10,000 words. They pay 3 cents a word up to $100. http://www.aberrantdreams.com/content/content/submission-guidelines

If I had an award to dish out it would be right on its way to you. You are a star. I, personally, totally respect the work you put in to turn out these posts. My hat is off to you, Sandra. Top job. I will be taking a look at these sites.
Regards, David.
Thanks, David. You've certainly painted a blush across my face this morning.
Good links. Thanks. I know about some of these but need to check out others.
Hey there, Sandra, thanks so much for the mention!
