Crime lover, criminal lover, crime love, criminal love

I would like to know the diferences between:

A) Crime lover vs. Criminal lover

B) Crime love vs. Criminal love


I think that a love crime is a "crime of passion" (an offence in which someone Is driven to murder their significant other, or someone who is believed to be romantically associated with their partner), and that you can call crime lover someone who likes crime movies, crime novels, etc., but I'm not sure about the rest of the expressions.
