What's the point of discussing criminality? The criminal justice system is centralized and functions independent of public interest in getting results from it. (And, in fact, functions better when the public is mostly unaware of crime, re: jury selection.)

The civic justice system, on the other hand, is completely driven by public interest—nothing gets done to change things unless somebody (or some class) bothers to sue.

Well, for one thing, we could try to think of ways how to catch these criminals, how to help law enforcement.
