While we’ve come, in this country at least, to not officially consider murder an acceptable manifestation of jealousy, it’s scarily common to regard a jealousy murder in the same light as a Robin Hood robbery, even (or especially) for judges.

 RollingStone.com: Crimes Of Passion : Pat Benatar : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Crimes of Passion is an unintentional tribute to the talents of producer Mike Chapman–not that he had anything to do with the record.
Lacking both subtlety and playfulness, Benatar delivers the brunt of Crimes of Passion's material–most of it leaden reworkings of hard-rock clichés ("Treat Me Right." "Prisoner of Love") – with a shrill seriousness that rarely varies.
She's at her most carnest in "Hell Is for Children," an indictment of child abuse that's as grotesque as it is well meaning.

The crazy man of British film, Ken Russell (Women in Love, Whore), hit the apex of guilty-pleasure absurdity with Crimes of Passion, a dark if pointed (and ultimately poignant) walk on the wild side.

I've had 'Crimes of Passion' since first released, and it remains a constant play selection for me. Any BHTM fan that doesn't quite 'get' this CD needs to keep listening (while giving thanks that Todd and the gang have found a way to keep their fans in grace).
As a diehard fan of BHTM, it's hard to say which album is my favorite, but Crimes of Passion is certainly one of them.
Compared to "Midnight Radio" it's the far end of the spectrum, whereas MR is indy and raw, Crimes is poised, polished and much more produced.
