Robbery is a crime against PERSON. Burglary is a crime against PROPERTY.
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.
No. Burglary IS a criminal offense. ATTEMPTED Burglary is an attempt crime.
Knife crime, murder, paedophilism, burglary, terrorism etc.
I don't know about the "degree" of it, but it is classified as a "Crime Against Persons."
Commercial burglary is generally considered worse than petty theft because it involves unlawfully entering a building with the intent to commit a crime, which can lead to more serious consequences and potentially cause greater harm to the business and its employees. Petty theft, while still a crime, typically involves stealing items of lower value and does not involve breaking and entering.
No. Although the terms are used inter-changeably by most of the public - the crime of Robbery is a crime against a person. What the questioner describes is Burglary, which is a crime against property - UNLESS the home is occupied at the time of the break-in, THEN it becomes Robbery.
"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 robbery itself is a crime againcst a person. the property is what is or was taken during the crime of robberyADDITIONAL: Despite its common usage in everyday language - - legally the word "ROBBERY" applies ONLY to offenses committed against persons.Crimes committed against property are legally described as "LARCENY" and "BURGLARY."
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 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.
