Perhaps if you just look at violent/drug crimes then it may be that they vote more democrat than republican. That criminal population is weighted towards the poor and minorities. Much of those groups vote liberal not because of personal ideologies but because at a practical level they know that liberals/democrats tend to support social programs more.
(Why do liberals support social programs? Because liberals tend to have more empathy than conservatives. There HAVE been studies that found that.)
But on the flip side I'll thow out that I expect that:
Most white-collar criminals vote conservative.
Most spouse abusers vote conservative.
