5. Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопросы. 
1. Every violation of law is a crime, isn’t it? 
2. Do different societies define crimes in the same way? 
Crime is a breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority can ultimately prescribe a 
punishment. Individual human societies may define crimes differently. Modern societies generally 
regard crimes as offences against the public or the state. The word ‘crime’ is generally associated with 
wrongdoing but not every type of wrongdoing is a crime. Telling lies is immoral wrong but if telling 
lies is put into practice resulting in physical harm to another, then such action becomes both criminal 
and immoral. 
There are some acts which are considered to be crimes in one country but not in another. For 
example, it is a crime to have more than one wife at the same time in France, but not in Indonesia. 
There are quite a lot of agreements among states as to which acts are criminal. But such acts as 
stealing, physical attack or damaging somebody’s property will be unlawful in all countries and the 
way of dealing with people suspected of crime may be different. Sometimes government “creates” new 
crimes by identifying a form of behavior and passing a new law to deal with it. Different societies or 
governments often review their ideas of what should and shouldn’t be a crime. For example, race or 
sex discrimination hasn’t been considered a crime for a long time. In recent years the Internet has 
grown explosively and there appeared the new crimes such as unauthorized access or “hacking”, 
copyright infringements, child pornography, etc. Cybercrimes may intentionally harm the reputation of 
the victim, they may threaten a nation’s security or financial health.
Most crimes are not reported, not recorded, not followed through, or not able to be proved. 
When informal relationships and sanctions are insufficient to establish and maintain a desired social 
order, a state may impose more strict systems of social control.
