Looks very cool! Thanks for making this mod. Do you plan to post the source code? That's the one thing that's stopping me from trying it out. 
Do things like subsidies and the welfare office (i think that's the name) help with keeping crime low?
Also if a person still has money, will they go through their "savings" first before turning to crime?
Crime is mostly caused by poverty is a result of unemployment.

I have no idea what exactly causes a citizen to become a criminal. The pre-release blogs said low wellness did it, and when I tried to modify the chance of cims becoming criminals, it was a dismal failure. I agree with you on the root causes of crime, and if I were successful, employment would directly increase the chances of that cim becoming a criminal concretely...but I was not successful. My mod simply ties the crime rate to unemployment, not the amount of criminals. It's not a perfect solution, but it gets the job done of making crime more difficult to manage when your cims are out of a job.
