    LOL! that was fast but I'm sure the term has a bit richer history than that. I believe it may have something to do with terrorism but not sure what.

    The only reference I know of is the protagonist of Crime and Punishment. I think he was more or less a vigilante.

    What was the context in which you heard it used?

    OK that makes sense now but Grrrrrr:mad:, I closed the window I was reading about this character in and now I can't find it again. It was about terrorism and made reference to this term that I was unfamilar with it. Thanks!

    Thanks StevO but I think Yams hit the nail on the head, so to speak.

    Using a bit of Aussie logic and having no real idea I'll put in my 2 cents anyway.

    Raskolnikoff
    lets open it up
    Raskol nik off
    Rascal nick off

    a Rascal is a rat bag, a bit of a scalawag or criminal. In New Guinea a rascal is a member of a criminal gang.
    Nick off means, take a hike, go away, shoot through.

    So using this logically Raskolnikoff means criminals are not welcome here, or criminals go away.
