Crime refers to an act or the commission of an act that is forbidden or punishable by law. It encompasses behaviors that violate legal statutes, resulting in legal sanctions. Crimes can be categorized into various types, including felonies, which are serious offenses typically punishable by imprisonment for more than a year, and misdemeanors, which are less severe violations resulting in shorter sentences or fines. The definition of a crime is shaped by the social, cultural, and legal context of a society, as different societies have different laws and moral standards. Crimes can also be classified as personal crimes, property crimes, white-collar crimes, and victimless crimes, among others. The impact of crime affects individuals, communities, and society at large, leading to efforts in law enforcement, prevention, and rehabilitation.
