crime theme
One or another of those proscribed actions that are normally punishable by contemporary states, is featured.
Notes
The action must be understood in the context of the story to constitute a crime, be it against written law or unwritten customs (for example against God or other notions of morality). Because of their notoriety, we consider that a "crime" theme is topical to the story when a character unambiguously commits such a crime. For example "murder" becomes topical if a murder is committed. Common sense is required here: For example, action movies frequently feature actions that would arguably be "crimes" to a thoughtful conscientious viewer, yet are not treated as such in the story for one reason or another (action heroes often appear to be above the law). It is not the purpose of this category to catalog such things.
