We humans have this innate need to pigeon-hole things so that we can gain a sense of order thereafter. The word 'crime' pigeon-wholes, in my opinion, all things that run amock self respect and respect for others. And yes, all actions trigger consequences ... good and bad. The good ones are not a problem to society. The bad ones are just that ...BAD!, and should prompt a remedial response by the community to ensure it never happens again. If torture, or the death penalty accomplish the removal of crime as such, then fine.
