In the same decade, the Sin-Eater story was, at its core, about a cop-turned-serial killer targeting those members of society he thought "coddled criminals," and the worst part was that he used to be one of Spider-Man's few law enforcement allies, and had killed Captain Jean DeWolff, another one of those few allies, in her bed while she slept, which was the inciting incident for that arc. Later on, in the 2000s, the Spider-Man/Black Cat miniseries by Kevin Smith tackled rape and sexual assault and revealed near the end that Black Cat herself was a rape survivor. (I wouldn't necessarily argue it was done all that well, but points for at least trying.)
Also in that particular decade, at the beginning of the JMS Amazing Spider-Man run, Peter was convinced to become a teacher at Midtown High after foiling a would-be school shooter who, as it turned out, just wanted his bullies to stop constantly tormenting him and during his time as a teacher, he found out one of his students was homeless, which led to him fighting a superpowered criminal who used his abilities to exploit homeless people. More recently or contemporarily, his guest spot in Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil had him make the argument to a cop who'd been dogging Daredevil since DD accidentally killed a criminal that as long as the likes of the Kingpin could still pass for a respectable citizen, i.e. "Mayor Fisk," "law and order" might as well be an unfunny joke. (Again, not saying it'd necessarily been done that well, but still, points to them for trying.)
