Well, considering that injustices and malevolent deeds are essentially crimes, without them there would be nothing for the protagonist to fight against. So while some things of what happens in fairy tales could be considering as "crimes" - without them essentially there is no story.

Wouldn't that be taking stories just for entertainment, out of context?

You have to consider those fairy tiles were not made for 21st century america or england or australia. It was a different time with a different moral agenda and a different type of childhood and audience. I stopped looking with today's eyes the classics. They were not written for me.
