As a result, these perpetrators receive officially sanctioned punishments. To the extent that laws are created to ensure social cohesion in their respective societies, they are created based on the moral, social and economic values ​​of the majority population. Having compared a range of diverse societies, despite marked variations in how different societies have responded to murder, rape and theft, these acts are universally condemned, regardless of the prevailing legal system, because they are morally considered inhumane acts of violence. Although they are considered crimes almost everywhere, the definition of many other acts as criminal depends heavily on which societies we observe and when we observe them. In Australia, however, such acts should be identified as "crimes" nationally. After committing what is considered a crime in one state, the perpetrator may attempt to flee the authorities by simply fleeing to another state or territory, and claim that he is thereby immune from the punishment of his crime. Under section 75(iv) of the Australian Constitution, the High Court of Australia (HCA) is responsible for resolving disputes between a state and a resident of another state. This requires the HCA to have a definition of the term “crime” in order to reach a unanimous decision..
