A crime commited while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. High crimes are usually fairly harmless and poorly thought out. They are met with regret or a completely loss of memory of their occurance the next day. Victims of these crimes are usually perplexed as to why they were targeted. Vandialism, theft, and verbal/physical assult are most common.

To avoid being the victim of a crime, I steer clear of high crime neighborhoods.
