Re: Crime
The Crime Rate is described as influencing what events happen. I haven't checked the event code, so I don't know for sure, but all random events have an <iPrereqCrime/> value, and I assume that the Crime Rate need to be at least that high in order for that event to be able to happen. For example, the Governor Assassinated event may only trigger when the crime rate is at least 25 in the city.
