If that is the case then none of them are outlaws,
'cos none of them have been caught. Plus, their employers know the crimes were committed and so do they, so technically someone knows. The sheriff also knows that Inara was directly involved in 'The train job.'

If someone nicked your car I think you would consider it a crime and hence the people who did it criminals, even though you wouldn't necessarily know who they were.

Inara finds work all over the 'verse 'cos she is stunning and good at her job. Even if she was a known outlaw I don't think that would bother most of her clients.

Following your line of thought, that means you didn't exist until yesterday, cos before that I didn't know you, so a belated happy birthday. (evenbiggergrin)

Book and Inara may not be wanted criminals, but they are still criminals. They can still be considered outlaws, even if their crimes, such as helping in smuggling or beating up cops, are not known.

In short, there's a difference between a criminal, and a 'wanted criminal' (you might also want to distinguish between a criminal and someone who has broken the law, but that's a whole other big debate).

Substitute the word 'fugitive' for outlaw, and it makes things less ambiguous. There may have been illegal activity, but they're not 'on the run'.

Of course if a crime has been committed, it's been committed, regardless of who knows what. It's like when a tree falls in the woods and no-one is there to witness it. You could argue that it didn't make a noise, but it definitely fell.
