2. What is Crime news?
• In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act
punishable by a state or other authority. The term
"crime" does not, in modern criminal law, have any
simple and universally accepted definition, though
statutory definitions have been provided for certain
purposes.
• One proposed definition is that a crime or offence (or
criminal offence) is an act harmful not only to some
individual but also to a community, society or the state
("a public wrong"). Such acts are forbidden and
punishable by law.
