'does it mean that every' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'crime has its own gravity?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'gravity?' could be 'g' and 'g' is located in the answer.
'crime' could be 'sin' and 'sin' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
