There are a few categories here, and this answer is very, very broad-brush.

From a civil perspective, a wrong perpetrated by one person on another in the absence of an agreement between them is called a tort. Where the wrong violates an agreement between two people, it is called a breach of contract.

From a criminal perspective, a wrong is called a crime, though some courts have also held that there is a set of very minor criminal acts or acts prohibited by civil laws that are called infractions.
