P.; M. NathThesisItem Open Access Social Structure and Social Relationship in A Prison Community In Haryana(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1984) Rathour, S. P.; Nath, MAlthough the practice of placing man in custody for the infliction of punishment is very old, only within last three hundred years or so, it has emerged as a major weapon of the state for dealing with the criminals. Crime in the broadest possible sense may be defined as any antisocial act which the group rejects on the part of human beings to escape from the boundaries of criminal behavior. Social definition regards crime as an act which the group regards sufficient menacing to its fundamental interests that justifies formal reaction to restrain the violate. Crime implies the behavior of the individual that interferes with the order of human relationship which society regards as primary condition of existence. Clark (1962) defined it as an act of omission prohibited by public law for the protection of public and made punishable by the state in the judicial proceedings in its own name. In a legal sense, crime is viewed as (i) that behavior which becomes criminal when it violates the criminal law, (ii) the Act cannot be assumed criminal until the actor has been found guilty through court procedure, (iii) it is contended that criminal law is particularly stable and responsible means of adjusting social control to changing condition. Biologists have defined crime in terms of biological deficiencies in the individual leading to crime.
