Categories of Crime
What is crime? Crime is an act that breaks the law and can harm others. There are many different types of crimes, and they can be grouped into categories.
What are Categories of Crime?
Categories of crime are ways to organize different types of crimes based on their nature or the way they are committed. Some of these categories include:
Subtopic 1: Crimes Against People
Crimes against people are acts that directly harm individuals. These can include:

Subtopic 2: Crimes Against Property
Crimes against property are acts that damage or steal someone’s belongings. These can include:
- Theft: This is when someone takes something that doesn’t belong to them, like stealing a toy or a bike.
