European crime

European crime is when someone breaks the law in one of the countries in Europe. For example, if someone steals something from a store, they have committed a crime. The punishment for breaking the law in Europe can vary from country to country, but usually involves fines or going to jail. Many European countries have special police forces to make sure people obey the law and try to catch people who break the law.
