That goes without saying, but I think you and I would agree that some are bigger scumbags than others. I'm trying to tally up ideas about a book I'm writing about a clan of vigilante vampires that feed only on bad people and who they should hunt the most and whom the least.
Why not have it that they hunt them all down when they can? Your question, if vampire vigilantes, should be which type of criminal is higher in percentage, because vampires would have to hunt to stay alive, and obviously if they are moral vampires they will only feed on the bad but need to feed every day due to still being vampires, so preferebly would hunt down the criminals that are more frequently around due to there being a larger supply of blood to feed on.
Kind of like if they specifically only hunt one type of criminal yet such criminals aren't frequent enough to feed from on a day to day basis, then they're going to starve, but if they pick certain criminals that are around more than most, then they have more of a feeding supply.
Right you are! However, I would think there would be enough bad people for them to feed on. If they live like drifters and move from place to place, they're even more likely to meet scum. I'm trying to ascertain though which ones they should go after the most and which ones they should improvise with if they can't go after the worst kinds and they need to feed.
I suppose, but you said there will be a clan? So it would have to feed a large amount. So to me, I think a good storyline would be mobsters. It would open up to good stories such as mobsters then realizing the threat and a sort of gang war takes place and possibly could open up to a continuation that the vampire clanbecomes a mob family themselves far later in the story or at the end which gives them more potential to feed when killing targets or opposite mob families.
Who knows, could make it a dark story ending where the vampires try to be a mob family to target evil mobsters but as the troubles of the lifestyle start to arise, they start doing slightly evil acts on behalf of the mob family they have made and then become the type of mob families humanity have had, making the dark ending that they went from typical evil vampires to moral, good vampires, to target bad humans which results in them dwelling in to the world of bad humans and they, in a poetic way, become human in the sense that their evils are not of thesupernatural type but of the type of the living, the evils of mob families.
Just my thoughs on it. Ofcourse, it's your project so no need to even consider what I say. :)
I like this idea too - since in my estimation mobsters are the worst in this list anyway.
Sometimes people, often police and military, form vigilante groups to combat organised crime outside the law.
For example, in Brazil and other South and Central American countries, there are 'death squads' who undertake extrajudicial killings of gang members. They will essentially step in when they think law enforcement have failed and murder people they think deserve it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_squad
A vampire equivalent of a death squad exploiting communities where organised crime is rife would be interesting. The common people might celebrate the vampires for going after the criminals making their lives hell - but what happens when the supply of criminals runs dry? Maybe they turn into the very thing they were killing; they start trafficking humans in to feed on, they start controlling the supply of blood like its a drug (cocaine for example).
I mean, that would take the story in an interesting direction, provide some twists and turns.
I can't imagine OP's story lasting very long if all it revolves around is them hunting down child molesters and rapists, castrating them and drinking their blood. That'd get boring pretty quickly.
That's why I'm having my vampires move from place to place. If they become stationary, some evildoers will hire slayers to find them. That's why they're also drifters.
Which of these kinds of people do you consider the lowest scum?

Yes, thanks for the insight.
