What are crimes?

Crimes are like messy puddles on the playground, they happen when someone does something wrong that hurts or bothers others.

Imagine you're playing tag with your friends, and one of them doesn’t follow the rules. They run through the sandbox instead of around it, making a big mess. That’s like a crime, someone did something unfair or hurtful without asking permission.

Sometimes, people do things that are not fair or kind, and others get upset. When they do this on purpose, it can be called a crime. Like if your friend took all the cookies from the jar without asking, that’s a little crime called stealing.

Crimes make people feel unsafe or sad. So we have rules to help keep everyone happy and fair. When someone breaks these rules, they might have to say sorry or do something to fix what they did, just like when you spill juice on the table and clean it up.

Sometimes crimes are bigger, like if someone hits another kid or takes all your toys. But no matter how big or small, a crime is just someone doing something wrong that affects others.
