Only special mystery bookstores have sub sections but the sub sections are more specialized then the distinction you made between mystery and crime. They can be cosys, "food mysteries", and so on.

I concur. "Crime" over here, is generally "True Crime", and is non-fiction. Crime
fiction is under Mysteries.
And I can't agree with lmarie's classifying "police procedurals" under Crime, unless they are specifically non-fiction accounts. Police procedurals are one of the sub-categories of the Mystery genre.
