Are actions only crimes because the specific act is prohibited by a law. If not for a written law how else would something become illegal?

An act must be codified in the law, described specifically, and assigned a penalty or range of penalties for it to be a crime. The legal doctrine for this si summed up in nulla poena sine lege: no punishment without a crime. There have been a number of incidents where a person committed an act which was morally reprehensible, yet there was no crime under which the actor could be charged. An example is the crime of necrophilia (sex with a dead person), which was not on the books in Nevada until 1983. It was introduced as a bill and eventually signed into law only after a case where a man broke into a funeral home, stole the body of a seven-year-old girl who was lying in state, and sodomized the body nearby. The suspect could be charged only with burglary, for breaking into the building with the intent to commit a crime.
