Introduction:
Conceptual Definition of Crime:
Generally speaking crime is understood to be any unlawful act punishable by a state
or any established authority. In current criminal law, there is not an agreed upon definition of
crime. A crime can change depending upon the context. It has been seen that acts that were
considered as crime in the past may not be considered as crime now. Crime is also cultural
and the geographical region and its unique culture may have different idea of what is crime
and what is not crime. Another common definition is that a crime or criminal offense is an
action that is not only harmful to an individual or a group of individual but also at large to a
community, society or the state.
Operational definition of crime:
An act is a crime, if it is declared as such by the relevant state or authorities. An
operational definition of crime can be said to be the laid down laws for the well-being of a
society in a region and the violation of the said law. The relevant authorities then intervene to
check the law breakers and bring them to justice.
