According to definitions given in Encyclopedia “Wikipedia” crime in a broad sense is an act that violates a political or moral law of any one person or social grouping. In the narrow sense, a crime is a violation of criminal law; in many nations, there are criminal standards of bad behavior. However, not all violations of the law are considered crimes, for example most traffic violations or breaches of contract.
