Definition
Acts that violate laws and are punishable by the state or other authority. These are offenses against public order, safety, or morality that society deems serious enough to warrant legal consequences.
Etymology
From Old French 'crime' and Latin 'crimen' meaning 'charge' or 'accusation,' derived from 'cernere' meaning 'to decide' or 'to sift.' Originally referred to the judicial decision or judgment, then evolved to mean the act being judged.
Kelly Says
The word 'crime' originally meant the decision or judgment made about an offense, not the offense itself! It's etymologically related to 'discern' and 'discriminate'—all coming from the Latin concept of sifting through evidence to make a decision.
