Theft Crimes

Houston Criminal Defense Lawyers

Theft itself most often refers to basic forms of this crime, including shoplifting, auto theft or the like. “Theft crimes” however may refer to a variety of different criminal offenses that all relate to the taking of another person’s property. The manner in which this crime is carried out will determine how it is to be classified as well as what potential penalties a defendant may face. For example, a violent theft crime such as armed robbery is typically a more serious offense than a simple shoplifting offense. Theft may also involve deception, and these are mainly covered under basic fraud crimes. A number of fraud crimes are also classified as “white collar crimes” which means they are usually non-violent and take place in a business or financial setting.
