The perverse incentives to try and behave like a potential criminal would be hilarious!

Also, I think you might be missing how impulsive criminals can be... murder is often a crime of passion.

Even so extreme poverty is a contributing factor to how some end up in situations where the impulse is to commit a crime, even murder.

IMHO, it may be those impulsive murdering types are best kept in jail.
