One Law, victim or villain.

One of the most striking moments in the first five episodes of Psycho Pass comes at the end of the first episode, when we learn that the psychological instability caused by trauma or high-stress situations is not differentiated from actual criminal behavior. The reason for this becomes evident later, but it is an apt parallel to the real world stigmatization of trauma victims. Japan has this issue as much as we in the US do, but for different reasons. The extreme societal pressure to excel at your work, to do it stoically and without complaint, regardless of suffering or negative physical and mental health consequences, created a similar sense that someone who suffers a breakdown due to stress or other factors is to blame for it.
