The criminal justice system consists of three divisions: law enforcement, courts, and corrections. It handles criminal offenses which are divided into Part I and Part II offenses. Part I offenses include violent crimes like murder, rape, and aggravated assault. Tort refers to a civil wrong or injury, while robbery involves theft through force or violence. White collar crimes are non-violent offenses for financial gain using deception, often by someone with professional knowledge. Terrorism involves violent acts intended to intimidate for political goals. Not all crime is reported, contributing to an unknown "dark figure of crime."
an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government; especially :a gross violation of law.
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.The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. 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.
Hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime)[1] is a prejudice-motivated crime which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of their membership (or perceived membership) of a certain social group or racial demographic.
Examples of such groups can include, and are almost exclusively limited to ethnicity, disability, language, nationality, physical appearance, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation.[2][3][4] Non-criminal actions that are motivated by these reasons are often called "bias incidents".
"Hate crime" generally refers to criminal acts which are seen to have been motivated by bias against one or more of the social groups listed above, or by bias against their derivatives. Incidents may involve physical assault, homicide, damage to property, bullying, harassment, verbal abuse (which includes slurs) or insults, mate crime or offensive graffiti or letters (hate mail).[5]
A hate crime law is a law intended to deter bias-motivated violence.[6] Hate crime laws are distinct from laws against hate speech: hate crime laws enhance the penalties associated with conduct which is already criminal under other laws, while hate speech laws criminalize a category of speech.

Every society requires tranquilly and favourable conditions to advance. Disrupted and anarchic civilizations tend to devote all of their resources to unimportant endeavours. On the other hand, kids can develop and flourish if they have a sense of safety, security, and order. Herein lies the significance of the police in society. This system existed at all eras, in one form or another, with varying roles and obligations.
