What is a Crime

Crime is a term that refers to misconduct forbidden by law. Murder – also called homicide – is a crime in all countries. Other crimes include: stealing a car, resisting arrest, possessing or selling illegal drugs, appearing nude on a public street, driving while under the influence of alcohol, and robbing a bank.

The list of acts considered crimes is constantly changing. Today, it is becoming a serious crime to pollute the air and water. Pollution caused few problems and received little attention in preindustrial times.

From a legal standpoint, a crime is a violation of the criminal law. Such law deals with actions considered harmful to society. On the other hand, most harmful acts causing injury to another person are violations of the civil law. Some overlapping occurs in this classification. For example, murder and rape are committed against individuals, but the law considers them crimes because they threaten society. For this reason, a crime is regarded as an offence against the state.

An act is viewed as a crime if enough evidence exists to make a police officer, a prosecutor, or a judge believe that a violation of criminal law has taken place.

The Rate of Crime

Crime is one of the world’s oldest social problems. Almost every generation is threatened by increasing crime and violence. However, no country has yet developed reliable methods for measuring the volume and trend of crime.

Countries vary greatly in their definition of crime and in the reliability of their crime statistics. Conditions that effect the amount of crime also vary from one country to another. Such conditions include the proportion of people living in cities, the proportion of young and old people in the population, and the degree of conflict among various cultural, economic, and racial groups.

Statistics show that crime rates for both violent crimes and property crimes are rising in most countries. Comparison of the crime rates of various nations indicate that increases in crime accompany increases in the rate of social change. The crime rate stays relatively stable in traditional societies.

Statistics about crime are based on complaints to the police, offences observed by the police, and arrests of suspects. Unfortunately, much crime goes unreported, including offences against businesses, organizations, and public agencies and against public order and morality.
