um, as in skill points, no you should not have have negative 10 points as far as I know, you may want to contact Ben.

Anyone else know another answer?

You sure you talk about skill points? Or do you mean faction points?
Faction points can get negative if the faction doesnt like you.
Skill points should never be negative. If its skill points you should file a bug report.

i'm positive that it's skill points, and now that i've solved like 4 crimes, i have 0 points, where i should technically have 10 skill points.

yeah, this happened to me when i first started out. I think it's because of the type of detective i choosed, and the skills i already have to begin with. These skills add up to a total of 26 skill points(SP)(for me), but all detectives only get 20 SP (in the beginning) so the SP was -6 for me. After doing a few cases and gaining some SP, it gradually becamse 0, then to positive number, which eventually i was able to purchase skills.

one of my agents was a reformed burgler and i did not have negative skill points when i started the game.

Hmmm strange. I didnt think the game will let you choose more skills than 20 points worth in the begining.
Did you try bug report?
If so will you post Ben's answer here? I just want to know if this is truly possible.
