The December issue of Q Magazine has a small Morrissey reference in it under the heading "Unsolved Crimewatch!", which is basically a page about songs which involve crimes: Late Night Maudlin Street - Morrissey Crime: Assault. Victim: Steven Patrick Morrissey. Time: Evening, early 1970s. Scene: Maudlin Street. Details: "I came home late one night, everyone had gone to bed/Nobody stays up for you when you have 15 stitches all around your head." A local youth was latter apprehended ("They took you away in the police car"). Clues: Judging by the victim's protests ("Dear Inspector, don't you care?/Don't you know about love?), the wrong person may have been arrested. Changes of being solved: Again, there are serious gaps in evidence and the passage of time involved makes a conviction unlikely. There's also a picture of Morrissey with the text: "Stop! Thief! You're rather handsome.", probably refering to Morrissey's "love" of crime and criminals.

Crime is one of his big themes.
