Crime is defined as an act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or punishable by law. It typically involves behavior that violates societal norms and laws established by a governing authority, resulting in harm to individuals or the community. Crimes can vary in severity, ranging from minor offenses, such as petty theft or vandalism, to serious offenses, such as homicide or robbery. The legal system categorizes crimes into various classifications, including felonies (serious crimes typically punishable by imprisonment for more than a year) and misdemeanors (less serious offenses usually punishable by less than a year of incarceration or fines). The enforcement of laws, prosecution of offenders, and the legal consequences for crimes are fundamental components of the criminal justice system, which aims to deter unlawful behavior, administer justice, and rehabilitate offenders.
