A couple ideas..

i know I'm only level 18, but I've been around forever, and when the opportunity to voice an idea comes up, it's like chumming the waters for me.

1. In gang hits. You can attack on of your own gang members for 2/3 of the experience you'd get from a normal target of that gang member's level, however this attack costs 25 - 30% more energy to do. However, the gang member who loses, since it was simply sparring, gets a 10 minute or less hospital visit. This increase in energy required, and moderate decrease in experience received would make this less of a primary leveling tactic, but would provide a good alternative when there's a lack of targets.

2. NPCs

a. Going off of what Zenith mentioned, when you fail at a crime and are getting sent to jail, you can attempt to fight off the police if you have x amount of energy. The abilities of the police would have 75% of your ability scores as a base, with a variable 1%-40% bonus. If you lose the battle, you go to jail, with added jailtime for resisting arrest. If you win, you would gain a decent amount of experience.

b. Public NPCs - There could be NPCs in game that are openly attackable and have 75% of your stats, and would award 75% experience upon defeat. Their hospital time would be very short.. 5-10 minutes. Low levels wouldn't use these, since if they had decent stats, fighting something that they could lose to would not be energy efficient, since you'd only be getting your own level's (-25%) experience. However, up in the higher level ranges, it would probably be worth the risk, and they could afford to use stims to heal themselves up.
