		Crimes are viewed as offenses against society, and as such are punished by the state.
		In general, in most western systems, the definition of a crime requires the existing intention of committing it (voluntas necandi) in the author, therefore it is usually not punished when this intention is missing or when the author has not a complete mental sanity or is under a certain age.
		It may be a crime to aid someone else in committing a crime, or induce him or her to commit one; if it is an offence against the US one is even punishable as a principal.

		The study was the latest contribution to a decade-long trend in which violent crime as measured by victim surveys has fallen by 55 percent and property crime by 49 percent.
		But experts say the fact that crime rates have leveled off confounds earlier studies that attributed it to such things as a more mature, less violent drug trade or police tactics that focus on high-crime areas.
		Property crimes tended to occur more often in 2003 in the West (207 crimes per 1,000 households), among people who rent rather than own (206 crimes vs. 143 crimes per 1,000) and in urban areas (216 crimes per 1,000) rather than suburban or rural areas (145 and 137 per 1,000, respectively).

	Legalized abortion responsible for decline in crime rate
		Crime rates began to fall in the early ‘90s, just as the first cohort of children born after legalized abortion hit their late teens.
		And states with the highest abortion rates in the 1970s also had the greatest drop in crime rates in the 1990s.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Crime rate drops - Wednesday \| August 4, 2004
		Although as at yesterday the country's murder toll stood at nearly 800, the halving of the weekly murder rate over the past month-and-a-half should come as a welcome relief to law enforcers and government officials who are fast losing the confidence of the public to arrest the country's spiralling crime rate.
		This claim was substantiated by Superintendent John Morris, crime chief for the Area One Police Division in western Jamaica.
		He reported that key members of St. James' four most notorious gangs were being targeted by crime-fighters in their efforts to reverse the rate of violent crime in the division, which is being led by 84 murders to date.

		There is no doubt that the violence and death rates are still extremely high in these two countries; however, both in Brazil and in Colombia, some good news is beginning to be heard on the matter, thanks to policies of disarmament and smart and coordinated strategies that integrate police, government and society.
		After all, the current yearly rate of 36.9 homicides in each group of 100,000 inhabitants is almost four times greater than what would be admissible in any country of the first world.
