I like "Crimes Like These" but do you think it sounds like bungling burglars comedy more than a gritty violent crime film?
I hate coming up with titles. Along with writing loglines, it is the hardest part of screenwriting for me.

I think if you look hard enough at most film titles out there they all drift into a bit of a cliche. I guess there might be a light-hearted feel to the title now you've mentioned it, but its just as easy a case of over analysis. Problem is it's going to form an important part of the hook.
Can't really offer much input, not really the creative type I'm afraid. I'd say possibly look at the concept from a different angles for inspiration, maybe. Thinking along more abstract lines you could name it after the halfway house the parolee ends up in when he gets out, or his prison/ parol number, that sort of thing. Or maybe focus on the actual emotionally midset of life outside prison e.g something along the lines of:
Inside Out or somehting in that style. Like I say, I'm not the creative type, but maybe looking at it from a few different angles might help.
