Full list of changes from the original
Here is the complete changes from the original that are included in this fork.
Copied straight from the description:

  • Instead of 1 Criminal for every ~30 Crime (4 Criminals at 100% Crime), you now get 1 Criminal for every 10 Crime (10 Criminals at 100% Crime). That's more than twice as many crooks turning hard-working pops into useless layabouts!
  • Instead of stealing away an insignificant 1 Trade Value, Criminals now consume 1 Energy, 2 Amenities, and decrease planet Stability by -1. The Crime Lord Deal remains unchanged, but now it's simply giving you back the Stability the Criminals took away from you. Think of it like putting the planet on low-maintenance autopilot.
  • Instead of Enforcers giving -25 Crime Reduction, they now only give -15. In vanilla Stellaris, Enforcers are almost too good at their jobs; now achieving a crimeless utopia requires a reasonable investment of buildings, resources, and pops.
The above is all more or less true for gestalts too.

This mod also tweaks a couple of peripheral civics: Police State, and Criminal Syndicate
  • If you're a Police State, Enforcers still give the full -25 Crime, but you can't make Crime Lord Deals - that would be ridiculous!
  • To accommodate its slash-and-burn style of business, Criminal Syndicates now save on contracting costs and bureaucratic red tape! Establishing branch offices now receives a -30% energy and influence discount and Criminal Branch Office Buildings cost less minerals to construct. The branch office value penalty for a low-crime world has also been slightly reduced; bad business is still business, after all.
  • NEW: Criminal Syndicate buildings now give jobs to their host if they didn't before, but more importantly reduce the number of criminals on the planet, too. Now they're actually giving you back something for your trouble.
