An example of a criminal statute is the Theft Act, which prohibits the unlawful taking of someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. This statute defines various forms of theft, including burglary and larceny, and outlines the penalties for those convicted of such offenses. Each jurisdiction may have its own version of theft laws, but they generally serve the same purpose of protecting property rights.
