A crime analyst is reviewing five incident reports from two countries.
| Report | Information recorded |
|---|---|
| 1 | A person tells a market stallholder they will be hurt unless they hand over the stall's cash box, then leaves with it. |
| 2 | A person is found making cocaine in a rented flat. |
| 3 | A person touches another person sexually after being clearly told no. |
| 4 | Over several nights, a group sprays graffiti on residents' front gates. Several residents now say they are afraid to leave their homes after dark. |
| 5 | In Country A, amplified music played in public squares after 22:00 leads to repeated complaints from nearby residents, and the law bans it. In Country B, the same behaviour at the same time is legal, and people there see it as a normal part of evening life. |
Describe how the behaviour in the reports can be classified into types of crime, and how the reports show the role of culture in deciding whether behaviour is criminal.
