No crime or punishment?

Good day to all do-no-gooders. Is the conflict card Crime or Punishment gone or am I just unlucky? I am getting all the other conflict cards almost as soon as I get to 5 favours, but I haven't seen this one for a couple of weeks now, even though I am sitting at 7 criminal favours and over 100 connected constables.

The new ones are actually quite profitable, so the lower frequency might have more to do with limiting income. Though they are admittedly a pain if you're just trying to grind Renown/Connections with multiple factions at once.
I think they're also trying to create strategic trade-offs. Do you trade in Tomb Colonist Favours to cash in Collections of Curiosity, or do you hold onto them hoping the conflict card with Society shows up soon? If you draw the Constables vs. Rubbery Men conflict card, do you play it to get rid of it, or do you hold onto it, hoping you'll get a chance to use the more profitable Revolutionaries vs. Rubbery card?
And the old style cards were more of an annoyance clogging up your deck than a benefit for the most part. Ironically, in some cases, they're now just about the only substantial means of raising certain connections with any speed (looking at you, Urchins).
