Answer: Legal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a legal perspective, crimes are determined and punished by the common law, whereas a social definition of crime would say is a practice that breaks social norms.

Determining a proper interpretation of crime may be difficult because there's a lot of malicious actions that are not established as crimes, and many less threatening behaviors that are.
