crime fighter

Lawbreaker's sworn enemy

A crime fighter is someone who combats crime, whether professionally or as a calling.

Police officers, prosecutors, and FBI agents are crime fighters by occupation.

The term often evokes superheroes and vigilantes: Batman is Gotham's legendary crime fighter.

Politicians may style themselves crime fighters when campaigning on law-and-order platforms.
