1. Crimes Against the Person
Crimes against the person involve direct harm or the threat of harm to an individual. These include assault, homicide, kidnapping, and other acts that put someone’s safety at risk. They are often considered the most serious offenses because they directly affect human life and well-being.
2. Crimes Against Property
Crimes against property focus on interfering with another person’s right to use or enjoy their possessions. Theft, burglary, vandalism, and arson all fall into this category. While they may not directly harm a person, they cause significant financial and emotional impact.
3. Statutory Crimes
Statutory crimes are offenses created by specific laws or statutes. These often include alcohol-related crimes, drug violations, traffic offenses, and white-collar crimes. Unlike common law crimes, statutory crimes exist because legislation has defined them as illegal.
4. Inchoate Crimes
Inchoate crimes are crimes that were begun but not completed, or acts taken in preparation for committing another crime. Attempt, conspiracy, and solicitation are common examples. Even if the intended crime does not occur, the preparation or intent itself is punishable.

Our Expert Answers
What should I do if I am charged with a crime?
You should immediately contact a criminal defense lawyer. Do not speak to the police until you’ve consulted with your lawyer. A lawyer can advise you on your rights, review the evidence against you (disclosure), and negotiate with the prosecution.
What are the key legal steps when separating from a spouse?
First, you and your spouse must be legally separated, which means living “separate and apart.” You should then work with a lawyer to draft a separation agreement that outlines the division of property (equalization), child custody, and spousal or child support. A lawyer can also guide you through the process of filing for a divorce.
What are the primary ways to immigrate and what is the difference between a permanent resident and a citizen?
The main pathways for immigration are skilled worker programs, family sponsorship, and humanitarian or refugee programs. A permanent resident has the right to live and work indefinitely in a country but does not have the full rights of a citizen, such as the right to vote.
Why is a real estate lawyer important for a property purchase?
A real estate lawyer protects your interests by handling all legal aspects of the transaction. They perform a title search to ensure the property is free of legal claims, review and prepare all legal documents, and manage the final transfer of funds at closing.
What are some of the most common reasons an immigration or real estate transaction could be refused or delayed?
For immigration, applications are often refused due to providing false information, criminal inadmissibility, or health concerns. In real estate, delays can be caused by problems uncovered in the title search or home inspection, or issues with financing.
