Is there a way to lower or stop the crime wave at all?

[Cuffs]

I started a new game so I can kill all the bad people I can find as early as possible. I even got the early ak for saving the girl during night 2 I believe. I was wondering if doing this will stop the random crime wave events? If not is there any possible mods for this? I feel this event should have some kind of a goal to accomplish to not happen just to make the game more interesting.

Sorry I don't know.

If you're playing the story line, I don't think so. All conditions are already fixed.
If you find it annoying, you may first try to play under "write my own story".
You can set all the conditions you like. (weather length, crime rate etc)
Play some games with all the conditions set to easy. Get use to the game first before you start to play the story line. (story line is hard)
This is a good game. Hope you enjoyed it.
Happy gaming.
**** I die 10 times before I finish my first story line game. >o<

Try Sheltered game :) there's a crime boss you can kill to decrease raids

Thanks for the replies I'll give sheltered game a try later on.

it's under (some) development - another game mode is planned and some bugfixes are pending, just FYI - don't be in a hurry to buy it.
It might be enjoyable for those who like more sandboxy games without any specific goals.

You could mod the game to remove the crime wave, however you would have to do it for each scenario if memory serves.

Build 2x vegetable gardens and 2x upgraded heaters, then open the doors of your shelter to all the starving and freezing unfortunate souls that would otherwise be forced to attack other people's shelters in order to survive the harsh winter conditions.

I mean, it's not organized crime so it wouldn't make sense to have like a crime syndicate or mafia boss you can take down and prevent the wave of crime from occuring. Though I'd totally play a spin-off game/mod in TWoM's world where you play a vigilante, protecting the war-torn city of Pogoren from crime.

Dude i'm day 28 and haven't come across any crime wave. The only thing that I've killed was that supermarket dude who's gonna rape the chick, these I think bandits in this one area that I forgot what day you unlock but they have one person locked up so I saved that person and killed all the others and some others who wanted to kill me but I think they where just defending themselves. Maybe it is preventable? Usually I get it between day15 and 20.

My food supply is pretty crazy since I lucked out on enough stuff to build two cages like day 2 and two gardens couple days later. I missed my opportunity to kill the sniper sadly since I had nothing to kill them with. I'd love to see what kind of loot I would of gotten.
