Definition: Acts carried out intentionally which are generally considered harmful or dangerous to society and are clearly defined, prohibited and punishable in criminal law. 
2.The first point is that the perpetrator has violated an act that is not permitted by law; the second is that his or her conduct is socially harmful and seriously affects the social order and the interests or physical health of others
3. Committing a crime violates social laws, while deviant behavior violates social norms and rules.
4. I believe that the definition of crime is objective because the act of committing a crime can be analyzed from an objective point of view and people need to use the law to judge whether their actions constitute a crime

2.An offender is one who commits an act that does not conform to the norms of criminal law. In a general sense, the term 'crime' can also refer to a breach of morality, or an act that is so serious a breach of social morality that it is not generally tolerated by society. A person convicted of a crime is a sinner or criminal.
3. Transgression means a deviant act that violates social norms. A criminal act is a transgressive act. A criminal act must be a transgressive act, but a transgressive act is not necessarily a crime.
4.Yes, because a crime is an act that is a real danger to society; if there is no objective act, there is no crime; if the penalty is based solely on the subjective malice of the perpetrator, the distinction between law and morality is confused.
5. In China there used to be a law that it was illegal for men and women to cheat, but it has been repealed since 1994.
6.For example, marijuana is legal in the United States, but in China it is a criminal offence if you smoke it.

2:  It means a person who has committed a crime or has been convicted of a crime.Criminal also means being connected with a crime when certain acts or people who have been involved in or related to a crime and they are termed as criminal. 


3: “crime” and “deviance” are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Committing a crime violates social laws, while deviant behaviour violates social norms and rules.


4: No. A crime can be considered as a deviance in a different country. It depends heavily on a country’s legal system.

Crime is when people do some illegal things that are harmful to the society or someone and can be published by the government by using law.
2. I will consider if it corresponds to ethics, will it cause danger to the society or human beings or even living things. Also, the motivation will be considered.
3. Deviance is doing something that affect the city appearance while crime is harmful to the society.
4. No, they are subjective. Because some of the cases are very special. Like killing people, if one of the parents have special diseases, and it can be solved in a short time, for them it is very painful, and he/she wants us to end their life, did it break the law? So crime and deviance are objective, and it also base on which position and situation at that moment.
5. The rate of increase in crime has been faster than the increase in population.
6. Having guns is not legal in many countries apart from the  USA.

A crime is an offence against the law of a country and causes harm to society

2.What criteria would you consider before describing someone as a criminal?
The legal system will look at the specific act that the person is accused of committing to determine whether it is illegal.

3.What is the difference between crime and deviance?
crime is a danger to society, but deviance is an act that is different from that of the general public and does not cause harm to society.

4.Are definitions of crime and deviance objective? Why/why not?
It is not objective. Because each country and region has its own laws and rules, what may be a crime and deviance in one country is not in another.

5.Find at least one example where what is cosnidered criminal has changed over time.
Social climate change: As society changes and develops, people's acceptance of certain behaviors also changes. Homosexuality, for example, used to be considered a crime but is now generally accepted.

6.Find at least one example of behaviour that is criminal in one part of the world or state, but not in another.
Drugs have never been legalized in China, such as marijuana. But in many North American countries, such as Canada, it has been legalized and has its own tobacco shop in Vancouver College.]]> 2023-02-22 12:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/ogyaamcsmex3tic3/wish/2491065357 Skye & James https://padlet.com/usictech/ogyaamcsmex3tic3/wish/2491065983 1.
