> What about adults that take advantage of other adults?

Well, there's a pretty big universe of meaning.

> Subprime

What is more wrong? Banks lending to people they know they can't afford it because they think the risk/reward ratio is worth it? Or governments not letting them feel the effects of the markets reaction?

> Insider trading

Honestly who gives a shit? This is the type of thing that would be quickly priced into the market.

> Organised crime

Are we talking about selling drugs? Or murder? Or sex trafficking. Because I have very different opinions between the first and the second two.

> why even have police

See above.
