Answer:

Crime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Crime refers to noxious act or omission against the public which the State wishes to avoid and which is punishable by fine, imprisonment or death upon conviction. However, it should be noted here that no conduct is regarded as a crime unless it is legally declared a crime in a country. Therefore, while every crime means breaking the law, not every breach of the law would be counts as a crime.
