I am over in the "Crimefighting"-'other examples' assignment area, so far, trying to get my sea legs here.

I know I am not alone in viewing the term 'crime' as denoting something rather more broad than what Newt Gingritch and his ilk were referring to during the beginning of the "neoconservative revolution" he helped launch in the nineties, when they started going on about "war on crime".
