nah, it's not dumb if you don't have them where you're from.
the short answer is "criminal mercenaries"
the long answer is that they're people who aren't legally allowed to work or live on the grid, so they hard commit to crime to survive on the underbelly of society. i was one before i came here, but i was private security before that. ironically enough, because that means my job description was "prevent crime" before it became "do crime".
a lot of them aren't that way by choice. you have a tag attached to you called a S.I.N. - a SIN - and if you erase it to avoid the consequences of your actions, regardless of whether or not you're forced to, you just have to be a criminal or die in the streets.
