Crime

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 uniformly accepted categorisation of crime does not exist; rather, each country uses its own classification and often more than one.
In the context of urban planning, not all types of crimes are equally relevant, due to:
- the extent to which they are infuenceable by means of urban design;
- the extent to which they form a risk, both in terms of likelihood of occurence and impact;

Security issues
The types of crime that are deemed relevant enough for the urban planning process to be explicitly elaborated in this Securipedia, are called Security Issues. These issues are:
- Break and enter (burglary)
- Ram-raiding
- Pickpocketing
- Robbery
- Vehicle theft
- Physical assault
- Sexual assault
- Vandalism
- Destruction by riots
- Destruction of property by fanatics (terrorists)
