Abstract


After a brief introduction about the changeable meaning of the term «crime», the multivariable relation between the concept of crime and the different cultural conceptions is analyzed; it is also pointed out the usefulness of the ideas referred to justice and punishment for the definition of the different cultures. The relativism of punishable behaviours is exemplified by crimes related to religious regulations, homsexuality and parricide. The same variability can be perceived in the meaning of space, blood relations and heritage, with regard to what may be considered crime or not, and its punishment.
