In Florida, burglary is generally classified as a property crime rather than a violent offense. However, it can be considered violent if the burglar enters a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime and encounters an occupant, potentially leading to confrontational situations. The charges can escalate to aggravated burglary if a weapon is used or if the crime involves an assault. Thus, while burglary itself is not inherently a violent crime, specific circumstances can elevate its classification.
If the premises was occupied at the time of the offense OR - if it was a residence and the crime occurred during the hours of darkness, yes, it would.
No. Burglary IS a criminal offense. ATTEMPTED Burglary is an attempt crime.

Depends on the severity of the theft. It can result in a fine and a warning, or years in prison. In Australia, if you have a good criminal history, you can use a "Section 10" which can help your chances a lot, but only once. It depends on the state as well. The prison time varies from almost none and five years probation to life in Florida. It also depends on why you entered in Florida.
No, burglary is the crime of "Trespassing with the intent of committing a felony". Trespassing is not a violent act, and the intent to commit a felony is not a violent act. If someone were to be harmed during a break-in, the offender would be charged with other violent crimes, which may include, but are not limited to; battery, assault, and robbery (robbery would replace burglary as a charge).
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.
