A statute defines crimes as malum in se (inherently evil, such as murder) or malum prohibitum (wrong only because a legislature declared it so, such as failing to file a tax return). Some jurisdictions no longer distinguish the two, though many still do. Which statement is best supported?

Many jurisdictions still treat murder and tax-filing failures as different categories of crime. All jurisdictions treat murder and failing to file taxes identically. Murder is an example of malum prohibitum. No jurisdiction recognizes malum in se anymore.

Correct Answer:

Many jurisdictions still treat murder and tax-filing failures as different categories of crime.
