Can you be punished for a crime that was not a crime when you committed it?

Not under the "ex post facto" doctrine, if it is a statutory offense. However, under the common-law criminal theory, any intentional harm to another person or municipality or the public morals could be considered a "crime", at least under state laws, even if not specifically defined in a statute. There is also a good chance that there is a "lesser included offense" of a major crime, which was also a crime before enacting the definition of the particular major offense. For example, "skyjacking" was not defined as a crime until the early 1970's, and the first skyjackers were charged with "air piracy" and kidnapping, among other things.
