Comment on Street racers are not criminals
NABDad@lemmy.world 1 week agoDo you have a reference to the particular definition you’re using?
All my searching indicates “offense” is either synonymous with “crime” or at the very least a subcategory of “crime”. I couldn’t find anything suggesting that an “offense” was not also a “crime”.

Huh. I swear i read somewhere that define crime as in something like assault or murder or battery or robbery, something that cause harm to others, while offence is when you break the law. Like while littering or parking somewhere you shouldn’t might be a punishable offence according to the law, it isn’t a crime per se.
