Crime and what it means to us today, in order to explain the meaning of crime and the role it plays in society, we must first examine what crime is and what it means to us as individuals, groups, family units, and everything in between.
When examining our social structure we must first consider what constitutes right from wrong. We must try and answer the question, is there really such a thing as an absolute right or wrong? If so, who decides what's right vs. wrong, and can anything we do or say against another be held against us? In order to try and find the answers to these simple questions we must understand the essences of the term crime.
