Potentially yes, usually using length of residence criteria. Although as you identify, when they did their crimes that went out the window.

obvious question to follow (that we probably can’t answer), why didn’t they want to apply then?

Put it another way. To gain citizenship (as we're going through) is arduous, onerous and expensive now. 10 years ago it was much cheaper and the requirements were lower, but it still probably wasn't high on their list of priorities. Face it, if you're drug dealing or whatever then your mind may not be on what passport you get to carry around.
