What is Crime?
• A crime is defined as any act that is contrary to legal 
code or laws. In other words, crime and legality are 
social constructs that are fluid and change over time. 
There are many different types of crimes, from crimes 
against persons to victimless crimes and violent crimes 
to white collar crimes. The study of crime and deviance 
is a large subfield within sociology, with much attention 
paid to who commits which types of crimes and why.

6 Types of Crimes 


Crimes Against Persons
• Crimes against persons also called personal crimes, 
include murder, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery. 
Personal crimes are unevenly distributed in the United 
States, with young, urban, poor, non-white, and other 
historically marginalized groups both more often affected 
by these crimes and arrested for them than white, 
middle- and upper-class people are.


Crimes Against Property
• Property crimes involve the theft of property without 
bodily harm, such as burglary, larceny, auto theft, and 
arson. Like personal crimes, members of historically 
marginalized groups are arrested for these crimes more 
than others
Larceny: Theft of personal property
.


Hate Crimes
• Hate crimes are crimes against persons or property that 
are committed while invoking prejudices of race, gender 
or gender identity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, 
or ethnicity. The rate of hate crimes in the U.S. remains 
fairly constant from year to year, but there have been a 
few events that have caused surges in hate crimes. In 
2016, the election of Donald Trump was followed by an 
uptick in hate crimes.


Crimes Against Morality
• Crimes against morality are also called victimless crimes 
because there is no complainant or victim. Prostitution, 
illegal gambling, and illegal drug use are all examples of 
victimless crimes.


White-Collar Crime
• White-collar crimes are crimes committed by people of high 
social status who commit their crimes in the context of their 
occupation. This includes embezzling (stealing money from 
one’s employer), insider trading, tax evasion, and other 
violations of income tax laws.
• White-collar crimes generally generate less concern in the 
public mind than other types of crime, however, in terms of 
total dollars, white-collar crimes are even more consequential 
for society. For example, the Great Recession can be 
understood as in part the result of a variety of white-collar 
crimes committed within the home mortgage industry. 
Nonetheless, these crimes are generally the least investigated 
and least prosecuted because they are protected by a 
combination of privileges of race, class, and gender.


Organized Crime
• Organized crime is committed by structured groups typically 
involving the distribution and sale of illegal goods and 
services. Many people think of the Mafia when they think of 
organized crime, but the term can refer to any group that 
exercises control over large illegal enterprises (such as the 
drug trade, illegal gambling, prostitution, weapons smuggling, 
or money laundering).
• A key sociological concept in the study or organized crime is 
that these industries are organized along the same lines as 
legitimate businesses and take on a corporate form. There 
are typically senior partners who control profits, employees 
who manage and work for the business, and clients who buy 
the goods and services that the organization provides.
