Crime Is Not an Act or a Biography

A crime is committed as an act defined in violation of a law prohibiting, for a variety of penalties are imposed. “Crimes are divided into two groups, "mala in se," the crimes that the evil in themselves, and "mala prohibitita", are the crimes which are crimes only because the society at the time it considers wrong.
