Usage : {
Crime }, {
Sin },{
Vice }.
Sin is the generic term ,
embracing wickedness of every kind ,
but specifically denoting an offense as committed against God .
Crime is strictly a violation of law either human or divine ;
but in present usage the term is commonly applied to actions contrary to the laws of the State .
Vice is more distinctively that which springs from the inordinate indulgence of the natural appetites ,
which are in themselves innocent .
Thus intemperance ,
unchastity ,
duplicity ,
etc .,
are vices ;
while murder ,
forgery ,
etc .,
which spring from the indulgence of selfish passions ,
are crimes .

1913 Webster ]

Crimes are defined and punished by statutes and by the common law .
Most common law offences are as well known ,
and as precisely ascertained ,
as those which are defined by statutes ;
yet ,
from the difficulty of exactly defining and describing every act which ought to be punished ,
the vital and preserving principle has been adopted ,
that all immoral acts which tend to the prejudice of the community are punishable by courts of justice .
