Decisions about what constitutes a crime are made by legislative bodies, such as parliaments or congresses, which create and enact laws. Additionally, judicial systems interpret these laws, establishing legal precedents and clarifying their application in specific cases. Public opinion and societal norms also play a significant role in influencing what is considered criminal behavior.

What does Jesus think about crime?

Depends on what you call 'crime'. Anything regarded as crime that constitutes sin He would abhor - murder, assault, robbery, lying and so forth. Much of the law of western civilisations is based on His own teachings. However, some acts that are called crimes are not crimes against God - for example, it is a crime in China or Iran to spread the Gospel. Jesus would regard those who made the law as criminals in such a case.
