Consensual crime involves more than one individual and all the involved individuals give their consensus for carrying out an unlawful activity whereas conflict crime is when the social and economic forces create social conflicts. Examples of consensual crime:

  • Murder planned by few of the individuals.
  • Pornography, which can be banned to produce and dispense or possess in some countries.
  • Obscenity laws may criminalize the circulation of material even if it is viewed by those who agree to view it.

Examples of conflict crimes:

  • Organizations gain by exploiting the labor class of the society. 
  • The legal rights to the poor are denied, for the middle class it is sometimes accepted whereas the legal rights always take favor of the elite class.
  • Whenever a consensus is established, it only takes the majority into the picture whereas the people who don’t agree still have the decision imposed on them.
