To me, unconditional love is loving and accepting someone just as they are and for who they are. It speaks more to the core personality, the core PERSON. One of my biggest problems with my mother was that I never felt she loved me unconditionally. She never loved me for ME. She always wanted me to be, to act, like someone other than who I was.
So for me, unconditional love = acceptance of me, the person that I am, flaws and all.
As for people who commit crimes, well I guess there's always the religious statement of hating the sin but loving the sinner.
