Criminals Encourage Disguising Behaviors And Preferences By Attacking

By attacking those who display preferences and attitudes that are contrary to criminal aims, criminal forces discourage "voting" through the expression of preferences, and in fact, to unwary, alien civilizations, help even well meaning people to present attitudes that are in support of criminal aims, and contrary to their own best interests.

For example, societies currently or formerly ruled by "Morlocks" might encourage their members acting outside their borders to consume media with criminal-influenced messages, hoping that such behavior will reduce the likelihood that those individuals are attacked, and thereby bring criminal attention on their home societies.
