Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
An act of commission/omission violating the law.
Explanation:
Crime is conduct that violates criminal law, defined as either a prohibited act or a failure to perform a required duty. This captures both actions done (commission) and failures to act (omission) that the law punishes. The other terms aren’t definitions of crime: parole is release from custody, a body cavity search is a law-enforcement procedure, and a writ of habeas corpus is a court order challenging unlawful detention. So, describing crime as an act or omission that violates the law best fits what crime means.
