Definition
Crime is an act committed or omitted in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it.
Unless there be a particular provision in the penal code or special penal law that defines and
punishes the act, even if it be socially or morally wrong, no criminal liability is incurred by its
commission. (See U.S. vs. Taylor, 28 Phil. 599, 604)
