They don't deal with stuff life drug trade or rape or w/e unless one of the members involved are scanned to be over the acceptable limit for their Psycho-pass.
They aren't the police, they don't "arrest people" or bring them in for questioning, their department deals with solely with enforcing the Sibyl system

This is definitely one of the flaws of the current system. Without taking anyone alive for questioning, they allow their partners and bosses to continue to do crime. It is a very reactive society instead of proactive right now, which does not make the citizens feel that much safer. Then again, we did have an episode where they arrested a guy for stalking a couple, even though he probably would not have committed a crime.
There is no level of assessment of severity. There is just absolute numbers based on one type of analysis (the crime coefficient) that determines if you are a criminal or not. There is so much wrong with that.
