Definition: "A crime
is an act that violates a very important
political,
religious or
moral
command. In many
nations,
informal relationships and sanctions have been found to be
ineffective for avoiding and controlling some types of
antisocial behavior, so the system of
social control
has had to be formalised by the
government
who is able to use the force to costrain individuals who would
not otherwise adhere to the norm."
