"A crime is a crime because it is punished; it is not punished because it is a crime."
"Crime is normal because a society exempt from it is utterly impossible."
"The first rule of sociology is to treat social facts as things."
"The sacred is that which is set apart and forbidden."
"We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it."
