Basic income will only FEED these two problems.
Crime also tends to correlate negatively with wealth redistribution, not positively. Correlation != causation, natch, but it's also the case that if your causative claim were true, then one would expect the correlation to be positive rather than negative.
If victimless crimes like gambling, high interest lending, drug use and adult prostitution were all legal, there be less of a reason for organized crime to exist.
My feeling is that this sort of things should be regulated at a neighborhood level, so that it is possible to not have them in some neighborhoods where they are unpopular, while still being accessible in other not-too-distant areas where people do want them.
In any case, such trade is not a crime that would go away with basic income. People will have MORE to spend on vices, actually.

Sure, some crime is due to just people being too lazy to get a job, but it's not a universal cause.
