Even though law is made to avoid unconstitutional and unethical actions. It is said that law came first before the crime. Why law came first? It's because you can't identify someone's action as a crime if there is no law punishing that action. To side an instance, Australia allowed abortion and it's not considered as a crime to their country since there is no law punishing it—besides they have a law called Abortion Law that legalize abortion.

How does crime relate to law?

To answer this question we must examine society and the hierarchy of the government. Who decides what is law rules what is a crime. By breaking the law one commits a crime. Without the law there would be no crime, this is excluding moral and ethic code. Say a law of censorship is passed and anyone that watches explicit sexual videos is fined and jailed. Before the law was passed the crime did not exist, or happen, because there was no law to break and no crime to commit. In a sense law creates crime by making rules.
