There is no such chargeable criminal offense, rather it is a description of certain actions which MAY take place PRIOR to an actual offense being attempted or consumated. Even if a crime was unsuccessful in being carried out, simply the attempt to commit it satisfies the legal requirement of a criminal act accompanied by a criminal intent.
AnswerThe question asks for a definition. A preliminary crime is one that is committed for the purpose of effecting some other crime. It is one of the steps taken toward the commission of a greater crime and it is not necessary that the greater crime ever occurs. The three main offenses in this category are incitement (solicitation), conspiracy and attempt. You can read more about it at the related link.
In the United States a preliminary crime would be classified as an inchoate offense. An example would be a situation in which one person offers another money with the specific intent to induce that other person to commit a crime. A simple example would be a spouse seeking to hire an assassin to murder their husband or wife. The murder need not take place for an offense to have been committed. The preliminary offense is the solicitation and hiring of the assassin and the person who hired that assassin could be charged criminally even if the murder was not carried out.
