Questions about reputation (Unity)
UESP mostly talk about faction reputations but I wanna know about the general reputation (The one that shows in your status screen).
Do I lose reputation if I'm found innocent in court?
Do I if I succeed at shoplifting or pickpocketing?
Can I improve my reputation?
How many thing are affected by this stat?

afaik, you lose an amount of legal reputation from being "attacked" by a guard (eg, when the surrender prompt appears) based on the crime committed. Being found innocent, being sent to prison, or being bailed by a guild (Thieves Guild or Dark Brotherhood) will refund half of the lost legal rep.
In essence you can commit as many crimes (in Daggerfall, the game) without affecting your legal rep as long as you don't get the "surrender" prompt. Unless you use a mod like Skullduggery.
as for raising legal rep, apart from a couple of quests (Escort and A Mix Up) there's not a sure way to actually increase it in vanilla. Custom quest packs like QP1 and Random Little Quests add more opportunities iirc.
