Crime: A Conceptual Understanding

T. Sowmyya

Abstract :

Crime is a public wrong. It is an act strongly disapproved by society. Crime includes murder, dacoities, fraud, rape, etc. Each society has its own perspective of defining crime. For commission of crime, there should be a criminal intention and a criminal act. No individual is a born criminal; the criminal intention and behaviour of an individual are a result of various social, economic, biological and psychological causes. This article concentrates on the concept of crime, its elements, criminology, various stages in commission of crime, causes of crime and types of crime.
