1. Every violation of law is a crime, isn’t it?

Yes, of course we can say that breaking the law is a crime, but we cannot say that about any breaking of the law. It all depends on many factors, on the country, the harm caused by this violation, on the sphere of our life. Everything matters.

2. Do different societies define crimes in the same way?

Of course, there are crimes such acts as stealing, physical attack or damaging somebody’s property will be unlawful in all countries and the way of dealing with people suspected of crime may be different.

But there are crimes that are punishable in some countries and not punishable in other countries. Therefore, we cannot say that crimes are defined in the same way in different countries.
