Which act is an example of a crime against property?

Burglary is an example of a crime against property because it involves the unlawful entry into a structure with the intent to commit a crime, typically theft. This act directly impacts the owner's rights to their property, and it is focused on the invasion of someone’s physical space rather than causing harm to individuals.

In contrast, assault refers to causing or threatening physical harm to a person, making it a crime against the person. Robbery involves taking property from a person by force or threat, which similarly targets individuals rather than just property. Homicide entails the unlawful killing of another person, also primarily a crime against individuals rather than property. Burglary stands out as it is specifically centered around the violation of property rights and protection of premises.
