THEFT

Theft (or larceny) is probably the most common crime involving a criminal intent. The crime of grand larceny in some U.S. jurisdictions consists of stealing more than a specified sum of money or property worth more than a specified amount.

The traditional definition of theft specified the physical removal of an object that was capable of being stolen, without the consent of the owner and with the intention of depriving the owner of it forever.

In many legal systems the old definition has been found to be inadequate to deal with modern forms of property that may not be physical or tangible (a bank balance, for instance), and more sophisticated definitions of theft have been adopted in modern legislation.

The distinction that the common law made between theft (taking without consent) and fraud (obtaining with consent, as a result of deception) has been preserved in many modern laws, but the two crimes are rarely regarded as mutually exclusive, as they were in the past. It is now accepted that an act may constitute both theft and fraud, as in the theft and subsequent sale of an automobile.

Burglary is the crime of breaking into a dwelling or into a building by night with intent to commit a felony or to steal things.

Robbery is the commission of theft in circumstances of violence. It involves the application or the threat of force in order to commit the theft.
