Economic: Economic crime theory

By Musa Usman

Crimes have been assigned different meanings by different schools of thought as expressed by different authors but there has not been a singular acceptable definition of crimes. Crimes is a legal wrong for which the offender is punished at the instance of the state. Crime is an act or omission involving the breach of a duty punishable by indictment, in the public interest. Under the law of England, crime is a legal wrong that can be followed by criminal proceeding which may result in punishment. A crime is a human conduct which the state decides to prevent by threat of punishment and through legal proceeding of a special kind. It can be deduced from the above that punishment is present in all the attempts on definition of crimes. This seems to indicate that crime is a human conduct that is proscribed with penal consequences that may give rise to criminal proceedings and criminal punishment.
