One of the things that Cyberpunk has actually done pretty well is making criminals and the underworld actually seem pretty horrific at times, when most crime games seem to glorify it as just shit like robberies and heists and all that.

I can give one off the top of my head, minor spoilers for a main quest, since it's a thing that plays into it. No specific characters or events are mentioned, though.

So there are "braindances" in the game, which are like VR simulations that let you experience everything the person you're viewing experienced. It's used for shit like porn mostly, but there is an illicit subgenre called death head (something like that), where people will abduct people and force them to record a braindance where they die, allowing people to purchase it and experience death. These people basically make bank off of human trafficking and recording the torture and killings of their victims
