Crime is an architectural feature of organizations of humans. It would still exist, even if we took the code off humans entirely.
What we call “Crime” is just a lack of buy in to the system and a willingness to operate outside its parameters for whatever reason.
There’s a sort of objective, philosophical definition of crime, like most people will probably agree that torture is a crime against humanity for instance. But for the purposes of legal code, crime is just choosing not to cooperate with the system when it gives you instructions or sets boundaries or attempts to impose consequences. There will be humans that make these kinds of choices for all kinds of various reasons for as long as there is a system that involves humans. Nothing about the model I’m proposing would fix that, although if you engineer your system more intelligently, taking human behavior into account, there will probably be a lot less crime and a lot less criminals.
So what is crime then if law is our OS? Virus?
