Crime originally referred to an intellectual mistake or offense against a community in ancient Greek and Latin, rather than a private wrong. In 13th century English, crime meant sinfulness. Later definitions specified crime as any felony, coining offenses, fraud, or certain misdemeanors. The document then discusses different types of crimes like victimless crimes, professional crimes, organized crime, white-collar crime, and transnational crimes.

2. What is CRIME?
 The word crime is derived from the Latin root cerno, meaning "I decide, I
give judgment". Originally the Latin word crimen meant charge or cry of
distress. The Ancient Greek word krima, from which the Latin cognate
derives, typically referred to an intellectual mistake or an offense against
the community, rather than a private or moral wrong.
 In 13th century English crime meant "sinfulness", according to Online
Etimology Dictionary. It was probably brought to England as Old French
crimne (12th century form of Modern French crime), from Latin crimen (in
the genitive case: criminis). In Latin, crimen could have signified any one
of the following: charge, indictment, accusation, crime, fault, offense.
