The current image ([1]) is bad for a lot of subjective reasons, but for an objective one, it is really weak on the "crook" part (it's a guy getting arrested, maybe). Two suggestions, to start: Snake Jailbird ([2]) and Tattooed Elvis ([3]).

Yeah, he's getting arrested, but it's hard to see the cop behind him.

Current's definitely way better than either suggestion. Snake's image is tiny and blurry, and Elvis is blurry and the fact it's Elvis is just distracting.

I don't think the cop or the cop car is difficult to make out at all.

It's supposed to be security cam footage, doesn't seem blurry to me. And I don't think getting arrested says "crook" very well anyway.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

I still find the current more clear.

@Willbyr: Weren't you in favour of the current image in the original IP? [lol]

Anyway, I don't agree with the OP's Elvis suggestion since it's not an example of this trope since Elvis neither had tattoos nor was he ever a criminal.

Instead, might I re-suggest Jack from Mass Effect 2? [1]

Really like the Mass Effect suggestion.

8 is best suggestion so far.

I'll add Max Cady to the list of suggestions.

I see several tattoos but no crooks.

^^ For those new suggestions, the first skinhead is probably the most blatant example so far. Sort of similar to Jack from #12, but that actually took me a few seconds before I could tell that she wasn't wearing a brightly colored outfit.

Crowner this?

Crowner's hooked. I didn't include any of the real life crooks, those are probably best for an Image Links page.
