We need to encourage criminals to get more creative. Instead of violating the law they should be coming up with new ways to do evil that nobody has ever done before or thought to do. We should create crime bounties that pay out for the discovery of new crimes far greater than the profit that could be achieved through conventional crimes that have already been outlawed.
For instance: Preschool Fraud. Forge paperwork to enroll someone in a preschool who is older than 5 years of age. If you can sneak an adult in there and not get caught? That's a big bounty payout. People definitely shouldn't be doing this so it's a good thing someone thought of it so it can be banned.
“Nobody else had done it yet” is a flavor of villainy you don’t see covered too often, but I feel it speaks to a core component of the human condition in a way few other strains do

What’s being corrupted is the person’s doubts and fears, their hesitation to be themselves, the limits that they believe they need because society tells them they need it. The kind of corruption that can only be accomplished by letting that person have a genuine, enthusiastic role in their own corruption.
It’s letting people self corrupt because they tried suppressing themselves and all it gave them was pain. Where the person they become is the one they always wanted to be, and all I really had to do was protect them while they were vulnerable. Let them realize the potential for this version of themselves was inside them all along, and now they’re safe to embrace that.
Corruption, at its core, is transactional. You're giving up something (sometimes literally but often control, dignity, agency, things beaten into you as societal conventions), in exchange for gaining something you truly want; power, freedom, a preferred form. You're not truly losing anything, just trading in the weight of those external expectations and acquiring a commensurate means to be closer to who you should be instead.
Effectively, you're returning a gift you didn't ask for or want and exchanging it for store credit.
