Crime Against Property Law

Crime against property law refers to offenses that involve the illegal taking or damaging of someone else's property. This includes crimes like theft, burglary, vandalism, and arson. Unlike crimes against a person, such as assault, property crimes focus on the impact to ownership and possessions. These laws aim to protect individuals’ rights to their belongings, ensuring that anyone who unlawfully interferes with or steals property can be prosecuted and held accountable. Penalties can vary depending on the value of the property involved and the nature of the offense.
