Breaking a law is typically referred to as committing a crime or an offense.
If you commit a crime, then you're breaking the law. If you call breaking the law a crime, then yes, you're committing a crime by committing a crime.Added; A criminal act is composed of two conscious acts: The Mens Reus (the criminal intent) and the Actus Reus (the criminal act). By committing the act you are completing the 2nd part of the offense necessary to convict you - therefore YES, you are engaged in committing a crime.But it's still a paradox. If you commit a crime by committing a crime, then wouldn't you be committing a crime for the committed crime for committing a crime> It goes on forever, but then final answer is YES.
Your question is poorly worded, but it appears that you are asking about the crime called simple battery.
Planning a Crime and Committing the crime
Knowingly helping someone commit a criminal act is itself illegal. If you did not have any reason to believe that they were committing a crime (for example, if you legitimately thought they had been properly released) then you can offer that as a defense if you should be charged with a crime.
An "abettor" or an "enabler" would fit this description.
Committing a crime.
