Crime Roleplaying in Society Roleplaying

There are no crimes specifically targeting roleplayers; the crime issue faced by gamers is the public perception that roleplaying encourages criminal behavior in gamers. This perception generally expresses itself in one of two ways: media reports that criminal suspects were influenced by roleplaying, or by law enforcement authorities mistaking legal game activity for actual crimes.
