Natural Crime and Legal Crime
For every crime committed, there is a label that it must go under.   After the arrest is made, the information is gathered and any investigation is conducted, there has to be a decision made whether it was a natural crime and legal crime.   Natural crime is one that is wrong regardless of circumstances.   There are statutes to this type of crime and if they are not met, it is noncompliance or a violation of the law.   Just because there may not be a judge involved in the natural crime that you have committed does not make it any less of a natural crime.   People kill animals in some of the same manners that people are killed so does killing an animal mean that it is a legal crime? A person would not think so since there are times when certain animals can be shot but there are not times when people can be killed for any reason.   
Legal crime is a crime committed for political reasons and these people are not offenders.   "They act perfectly legally: they deliberately break a law and suffer the legally prescribed punishment" (Shoher, Obadiah).   Civil disobedience is technically illegal but because the doctrine of freedom of expression, civil disobedience are lawful since they immediately serve the higher purpose of free political debate. So in other words, if someone has told someone that it is wrong because it is a law that has been written down, than it is a violation of the law.   If someone has had their license is suspended and they drive and get caught, this is a legal crime.   The judge took that persons license and he or she was told that they cannot drive so there are going to be consequences for it. 
The Federal Bureau of Investigation or the FBI has a list of major crimes and they are as follows, violent crimes, property crimes, murder and non-negligent man-slaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, motor vehicle.
