"What even is crime anyway" is not just froo-froo postmodernism. It is an extremely critical question when constructing or evaluating these sorts of systems and the absence of at least some discussion of it in papers building these systems is a clear epistemic problem, especially in a world where the authors of these systems are claiming that ML-based approaches achieve a goal of reducing bias.
Crime is defined as a violation of specific laws of a specific country, province or municipality. What is the epistemic problem you think needs to be solved here?
