There are crimes that are caused by activities that the state prohibits or by social customs called ‘mala prohibitia'. While the activity may not be repugnant to human kind, it becomes a crime on account of statute. Some examples include the bar on persons below a stipulated age to drive motor vehicles. Although a teenager at the wheel of a car is dangerous, it is not a crime that is repugnant to the whole of mankind. The crime is thus a crime that is caused by violating a statute. A better example will be the smoking regulations. Smoking has been banned in some public places but is not a crime for a person to smoke in his home.
