Of course crime is a social construct. No examples are necessary. What else could it be?

People tend to forget that social constructs are very very real things that can have major material impacts on our lives. Those who don't understand this use “it's just a social construct” to dismiss the importance of certain concepts or abstract ideas. But most of human's reality is made out of social constructs.

For another very clear example, money is a social construct. But people live and die by the hands of it.

If crime is a social construct struct then how come we have laws of nature and laws of physics. What do you think happens when you break a law?
