What happens when a person didn't commit a crime at all but was with the person who did commit the crime?

If you were with a person who committed the crime, you are an accessory to a crime. (There are exceptions. It depends on what you mean by the word with. If you were with a person and totally unaware he was going to commit a crime and did nothing to participate in the crime, there may be an exception. I know of one case where a woman discovered she was with a drug dealer. She took her stuff and walked to the bus station and caught a bus. The law left her alone.) It depends on what you knew and when you knew it and what you did about it.


Why does crime still persist?

There are several reasons why crime still persists. Even though human society has changed a lot over the past 8000 years or so, human beings have not changed very much. We are still, on the whole, a selfish and foolish species. Selfish people like to cheat. This can be done by committing crimes. But there are various other reasons why people commit crime besides selfishness. Some people are unable to control their anger, and therefore commit crimes of violence. Some people are insane and don't know what they are doing, or don't know why it is wrong to commit crimes. Some people are motivated by religious fanaticism. Some people have political motivations. If you believe that a law is unjust, you may not be willing to obey it. And unjust laws do exist. Drug addicts are often compelled by their addiction to commit crimes.

Is suicide a crime?

If you commit suicide it can't be a crime. If you attempt it in the United States it is still not a crime. India and Singapore are the only countries that I know punish for attempted suicide by 1 to 5 years in prison. It could technically be counted as a crime; however, there is no punishment conceivable for someone who has committed suicide, as they are already dead and therefore cannot feel or care about anything (unless they are watching somehow from heaven).
