No. But here is a good definition of it:

" An abnormal behavior that goes against the existing norms and cultural standards.

The norms and cultural standards actually define how humans should conduct themselves."

Legally a crime is defined as an act which is forbidden by statute and thus is punishable by law. Therefore, crime can be taken as a specific act of deviance which breaks the formal rules or laws in a society.

Thus, a crime is something that is unacceptable to the society as well as being forbidden by the law.

Anything that is allowable by law, even though unacceptable to the society, is not a crime.

Frederick Douglass gives examples of cases where white men killed slaves or people of color and faced little to no consequences, such as the murder of an enslaved man named Demas in St. Louis and the killing of a free black man named Cole by a white man in Baltimore. These examples illustrate the systemic indifference and injustice towards the lives of slaves and people of color in society at that time.
