Burglary is the felony of breaking into and entering the house of another at night with intent to steal, extended by statute to cover the breaking into and entering of any of various buildings, by night or day.
The criminal statutes concerning burglary differ somewhat from state to state. In some states remaining in a building or house without permission to commit a crime is also a burglary. In that situation, the entry can be legal and turns into a burglary if a crime is committed later. This covers the situation where a person stays in a store until after it closes and then steals items or commits some other crime.
Burglary is the unlawful entrance to someones property and the removal of items not theirs, without permission of the owner. In some jurisdictions, that is different from breaking and entering, since in breaking and entering as defined in those jurisdictions, no other crime is committed.
Burglary (also called breaking and entering and sometimes housebreaking) is a crime, the essence of which is entry into a building for the purposes of committing an offence. Usually that offence will be theft, but most jurisdictions specify others which fall within the ambit of burglary.
I'm answering this from the point of view of the law of England and Wales. Burglary is covered by:
Section 9 of the Theft ActA person commits burglary when they:a) Enter a building (or any part of a building) as a trespasser
b) Having entered a building (or any part of a building) as a trespasser
(one way to remember the elements of the crime)
So, as I was taught in Police training, aggravated burglary occurs when someone takes his WIFE with him.

It is when you purposefully take something from a place of residence without permission.
Burglary 1 is to commit a crime against property or a person and enters into a building unlawfully. The person may also posses a dangerous weapon or firearm.
Breaking and entering, or entering without breaking, an unoccupied dwelling or business, with the intent of committing theft.
"Grand Theft Auto" which is a felony if you take it or "Breaking and Entry" if you steal something.
It is a type of crime in it's own right.
No. Burglary IS a criminal offense. ATTEMPTED Burglary is an attempt crime.
Often the class of a burglary is determined by the type of building and/or the conduct of the burglar. For example, a burglary of a home is usually more serious than a gas station; and carrying a weapon or using a tool may also make the crime more serious.
Robbery is a crime against PERSON. Burglary is a crime against PROPERTY.
"BREAKING AND ENTERING" is another way to describe a Burglary in legal terms. There can be degrees of burglary but generally speaking Burglary is considered to be a felony offense and is a serious crime.
The correct spelling is "burglary." It is a crime that involves entering a building illegally with the intent to commit a crime, usually theft.
This is not a nationwide law. Burglary is a state crime and the crime of Residential Burglary is codified differently, and on different dates, in different states.
Burglary is a combination of two elements. 1. Trespassing on to property. 2. The intent of committing an additional crime (usually a felony). If either element is missing, a burglary has not been committed.
Burglary is a property crime and is not a violent crime against a person.Added: But it is a Felony offense.Unsure about Georgia, but in many locations there is a distinction in the statutes between burglary of a residential dwelling and a commercial building.Also, burglary of an occupied dwelling, or the burglary of one committed after dark, carries an enhanced penalty due to the greatly increased likliehood of persons being present in the resididence at the time.
Burglary has a corpus delicti referring to the "body" of the crime. You have to prove that first to know see if a burglary took place.
What type of torts are burglary and robbery?
Yes, you can be charged with attempted burglary. If found guilty, it can result in jail time.
In most states, BURGLARY.
