Crime

Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction.[1]

Types of crime

A uniformy accepted categorisation of crime does not exist; rather, each country uses its own classification and often more than one. A classification that is developed especially for the Securipedia features the following classes:

  • get in and hide
  • break and enter
  • ram-raiding
  • kidnap
  • pickpocket
  • rob with assault
  • snatch theft
  • car theft
  • physical assault including sexual
  • destruction of property
  • arsony
  • grafitti
  • verbal abuse, bullying
  • murder
  • mass killing

Not every type of crime occurs equally frequent. The crime statistics of England and Wales of the year 2010-2011[2] present the following ratios in crime types:
