Abstract

Criminal activities and criminals are defined by the society. Law and especially criminal law is essential to define the society’s cooperative existence and integrity (Einstadter and Henry, 2006). The codification of mandates to regulate the behaviors acceptable within a society is defined as law and this law may hugely differ from one society to another. However, in the present society it is questionable that whose values and standards are reflected by the laws that are enumerated in any society (Einstadter and Henry, 2006).This paper would deal with the concept of crime and social harm and the difference between how criminologists perceive crime should be defined and how legislators actually define criminal activities according to a given situation. In general, corporate crimes do not result in many sanctions as compared to ordinary crimes such as violence, thefts or burglary. This difference in defining crime in criminal statues is also discussed in this paper.
