History WMG / PsychoPass

[[spoiler: Looking at what separates Makishima from the other criminals who do have high Crime Coefficient, it appears the key difference is that Makishima is incredibly calm and almost indifferent about killing others. The ones with high Crime Coefficients seem to be very emotionally unstable and experience pleasure or fear or some other heightened sense while murdering. They are also aware and believe that what they are doing is a criminal act. Makishima, however, seems to genuinely believe his acts to be merely observations. It also explains why the victim in episode 1 was judged as a criminal even though she did nothing wrong. She was simply emotionally unstable. This probably ties into the show's overall theme that technology can never replace human instinct and judgement on good and evil.]]

** It's even worse than that. [[spoiler:It started at 79 then slowly decreased even as he's torturing Yuki until the moment he killed Yuki at which point it became 0.]]

* Confirmed. it's 0, NULL, NULL EVEN WHEN HE IS TORTURING AND KILLING YUKI.

Mainly because PureIsNotGood. This could be the reason why he hasn't been detected by the scanners and the statement that Akane's friend made ("I wonder if those people with the clearest Psycho-Pass hues are always people like her") could serve as a foreshadowing. After all, we do not know what Sybil System's criteria for the classifications is. The most likely result of this revelation would be forcing the person who discovers this (most likely Shinya) to result in hand-to-hand combat to either capture him or even kill him. If the other members of police don't know about this revelation, things may not go that well...

I'm not sure how, but the way they keep bringing it up makes me suspicious.

That thing with Crime Coefficient being contagious really bothered me since Episode 1. The possible answer to this "contagious" stuff is that clear Hue represents good mental health in general, not just absent of criminal plans. So maybe, along with true criminals and socioaths, targeted are also people with schizophrenia, clinical depression, possibly autism, down to PTSD,which the victim girl from Ep.1 certainly started to develop[[LudicrousGibs (come on,]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil who wouldn't?)]]. That also means at least some of the incarcerated fellows weren't really that harmful, just needed mild psychological treatment.

You heard it here first! His right hand man that likes to tinker with technology. How could it be anyone else?

It's [[FanNickname Urobutcher]] we're talking about after all. Just as (''PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' spoiler) [[spoiler:[[MadokaMagica Kyubey]] was trying to turn countless girls into monsters to fight universal entropy]], every third or fourth person or so in [[CrapsackWorld this world]] is to be designated a menace to society and summarily executed [[TotalitarianUtilitarian in order to keep the human population stable]]. You heard it here first!

Which leads back to the above overpopulation theory. (''MadokaMagica'' spoiler ahoy.) [[spoiler:Just as the Incubators kept drawing in more {{MagicalGirl}}s to fight the [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie monsters they would eventually become]],]] ThePowersThatBe behind the Sybil System need more people to become homicial maniacs to be gunned down "for the greater good".

[[WMG: The mastermind connecting people with the will to kill is Sybil System itself]]

C'mon, it's obvious that there's more to his grudge than just his hatred of latent criminals. ''And'' in episode 6 it's confirmed that [[spoiler:His father is a latent criminal.]]

So far, it's been pretty rough for Akane because of how innocent she is in comparison to all the other characters. As the series goes on, she'll lose more and more of her naivety until she can't stand working for the Public Safety Bureau anymore and go rogue or something similar. Akane's often not very happy with the Bureau's policies, which justifies this. And I'm drawing this from the opening, but Shinya will have to hunt her down.

Akane's often not very happy with the Bureau's policies, which justifies this. And like in the opening, Shinya will have to hunt her down.

The pressure of always remaining calm even when dealing with the most horrible crimes will get to him and drive up his Crime Coefficient. Akane and the Enforcers will try to help him deal with it. If he survives, this will change his view on the Psycho-Pass system. Alternatively, he already qualifies as a latent criminal and is somehow hiding it.

It will likely be Shinya, as that's exactly the type of situation Gen likes to put characters in. But Tomomi is possible as well given his [[TheObiWan Obi-Wan]] like status as a cool old guy mentor who seems to be near his limit. Shinya might survive his shooting somehow though, but Tomomi would probably be KilledOffForReal and cause a HeroicBSOD for Akane.

Crime coefficent is said to be contagious. Spending time in close proximity of latent criminals can turn you into one. And who spends more time, with more latent criminals than Inspectors? Consider what Tomomi said about crime coefficent as well - ability to commit crime as well as ability to predict it/to be effective law enforcer is also connected. It doesn't sound much out realm of possibility that one or more of Enforcers only became latent criminals during their service in PSB.
