A '''crime''' is an act that is in violation of a [[Criminal Law|criminal law]]. An act that merely violates a [[civil law]] is not a crime, although it may be a [[tort]]. It is possible for an act to be covered by both criminal and civil laws; an example is [[assault]]. An act in violation of [[God]]'s law is called a [[sin]].
