Crime is an act forbidden by law, failure to do an act required by law, an act that is sinful, foolish or disgraceful (as in being wasteful). That pretty much covers most bases.

Does the way you define crime have anything to do with the measurement of crime?

This is so self-evidently obvious that I suggest you think about clarifying your question and re-ask it, because I can't imagine that you really intended to ask this as worded. For example, if you don't consider robbery a crime, it's certainly going to impact your measurements, because you'll be excluding all the robberies, and if you do consider wearing white pants after labor day a crime, then that will impact your measurements as well.

Is it illegal to self harm or suicide?

Not in most countries nowadays. Great Britain law used to consider suicide a 'crime' but repealed that law some 50 years ago. US law does not consider it a crime, although some States do consider attempts at suicide a criminal act but rarely prosecute, and never in case of terminal illness. Aiding and abetting at suicide however is a crime in many countries since this covers the very sensitive field of euthanasia. Many (Western) countries now have whole sets of rules and regulations regarding this.
