All crimes committed by characters are listed for the sake of completeness; however, it is important to note that there are often extenuating circumstances for these crimes. The motives of the Others, for example, are shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to judge them. Likewise, the survivors have no official law and order within their group, other than that which they devise for themselves, and some crimes are direct retaliations against other crimes. For example, Jack would consider his attempted murder of Locke in "The Beginning of the End" both punishment for Locke's murder of Naomi, and a necessary step to protect the rest of the survivors from a man he considers deranged and dangerous.

Scorecard[]
A (very) rough accounting of the above, based on known serious actions. Note that this analysis is biased by the fact that 99% of the show is from the survivors' perspective, so violent acts of the Others may be committed offscreen. All these numbers are a minimum, as to what is known at this time.
| Survivors | Others | Unaffiliated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Murder/Attempted Murder | 26 | ~60 | 4 |
| Kidnapping/Incarceration | 7 | 23 | 1 |
| Torture/Assault | 25 | 7 | 3 |
