Crime

A Crime: The service term for any kind of wrong-doing involving punishment, from the tying of a bootlace in a non-regulation manner to striking an officer, or murder.

To Crime: To charge a man with a "Crime." In the Army, for instance, on a soldier being formally charged with an offence, an entry is made by an NCO on a "Crime Sheet" (Army Form 256), on which in due course follows the delinquent's appearance before authority.
