Criminals are anyone who is breaking the law.
It’s why I never liked the term as it applies to drug users, but it is true.

Not exactly. Most countries differrentiate between different types of laws, and criminal law is just one subsection. That’s why e.g. parking in the wrong spot is breaking a law, but it’s not criminal.
Street racing is in most countries part of criminal law, because it’s something that’s especially bad and dangerous.
Drug usage is in many countries in the realm of criminal law, and it’s quite controversial whether it should be there, thus many countries move it out of criminal law.
