White Collar Crime  By : Darren K The term "white collar crime" is generally used to describe crimes involving cheating or dishonesty. Although there is no fixed definition of white collar crime, there are a number of nonviolent crimes typically grouped together as white collar crimes. These crimes typically are committed by professionals or entrepreneurs under the guise of legitimate business activity. Mayhem  By : Darren K A person can be convicted of mayhem, assault with intent to commit mayhem, or aggravated mayhem. Kidnapping  By : Darren K The felony crime of kidnapping is generally defined as the taking of a person against their will, or from the control of a parent or guardian through violence, force, threat, or intimidation. The act of kidnapping often involves other criminal offenses, such a ransom, carjacking, or robbery. It may also include a parent taking and hiding a child in violation of a court order. If the victim is injured, the punishment for the kidnapping increases. Intro to Violent Crimes  By : Darren K Crimes of violence vary in terms of their classification and their punishment. They may be misdemeanors, felonies, or wobblers. Misdemeanors are those crimes which are only punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment in the county jail up to one year. Felonies are those crimes which are punishable by fines and/or imprisonment in the state prison. Wobblers are crimes punishable as either misdemeanors or felonies. Hit and Run  By : Darren K Hit and run is generally defined as a criminal act. It is the failure of a driver of a vehicle, involved in a collision, to stop and give their name, license number, and other information to the injured party, a witness, or law enforcement officer. These duties do not implicate the driver in terms of being responsible for the accident. Whether the driver caused the accident or whether it was caused by another person’s negligence, the duty to stop, report, and render aid is required. If the driver willfully fails to perform these legally required duties, they are guilty of the crime of hit and run Battery  By : Darren K The crime of battery is governed by California Penal Code Sections 242 and 243. Battery is defined as “any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.” (PC 242) Battery is defined as “simple” battery and battery with serious injury. The punishments Assault with Weapon other than Firearm  By : Darren K There are many means of assault with a deadly weapon other than firearms, which are generally defined as those weapons capable of producing great bodily injury. For example, stun guns, knives, bat, hammer, machetes, cars, motorcycles, and any other weapon capable of producing great bodily injury. Where someone has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, the weapon will be confiscated and destroyed, pursuant to California Penal Code Section 245 (e). Assault with a Firearm  By : Darren K Assault with a firearm is governed by California Penal Code Section 245. Assault with a firearm is an aggravated assault in which the defendant, with a firearm, threatens a person with death or serious bodily injury. An aggravated assault is an assault accompanied by circumstances that make it more severe, namely the use of a firearm, or the intent to commit another crime, or the intent to cause serious bodily harm. Assault on Police and Firefighters  By : Darren K Where a crime is committed against a police officer or firefighter, the punishments are usually increased. The requirement is that the assault on the police officer, otherwise known as peace officers, or firefighter must be performed while someone in that category is performing in the scope of their duties, and the person committing the assault must know that the person is in these categories and are performing their duties. Assault  By : Darren K The California Penal Code, Section 240, defines assault as “an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another.” Assault is either the threat or attempt to strike another, whether successful or not, where the target is aware of the danger. There is a requirement that the assaulter must be reasonably capable of carrying through with the attack. If the assault is with a deadly weapon, such as sniping with a rifle, the intended victim does not need to know of the peril. Domestic Violence  By : Darren K Domestic violence is generally defined as physical abuse against someone who lives in the home, or someone the person is married to (or dating) or used to be married to (or used to date), or someone they have had a child with. A “dating relationship” is defined by CALJIC as “frequent, intimate associations primarily characterized by the expectation of affectional or sexual involvement independent of financial considerations.” Three Strikes  By : Darren K The Three Strikes law significantly increases the prison sentences of persons convicted of felonies who have been previously convicted of a violent or serious felony, and limits the ability of these offenders to receive a punishment other than a prison sentence. Violent and serious felonies are specifically listed in state law. Robbery  By : Darren K Robbery is a felony, punishable by a term in state or federal prison. Robbery is the direct taking of property, including money from a person through force, threat or intimidation. "Armed robbery" involves the use of a gun or other weapon which can do bodily harm, such as a knife or club, and under most state laws carries a stiffer penalty (longer possible term) than robbery by merely taking. Robbery is separated into degrees, which may mean stiffer penalties. Receipt of Stolen Property  By : Darren K Receiving stolen goods is generally buying or acquiring the possession of property knowing that it had been obtained through theft, embezzlement, larceny, or extortion by someone else. The crime is separate from the crime of stealing the property. To be convicted, the receiver must know the goods were stolen at the time he receives them and had the intent to aid the thief. Paying for the goods or intending to collect the reward for returning them are not defenses. Petty Theft, and Petty Theft with Prior  By : Darren K Theft is the act of stealing goods. Petty theft involves stealing goods or services worth $400 or less and is charged as a misdemeanor for first time offenses. Where the value of goods stolen is less than $50, the misdemeanor may be reduced to an infraction. Where there is a conviction for a subsequent petty theft, that offense is a felony petty theft. Intro to Theft Crimes  By : Darren K Theft crimes encompass a number of different crimes. Essentially, theft is the taking of another’s property without their consent, with the intention to permanently deprive them of it. Theft crimes generally require specific intent. Specific intent means that the person accused of theft specifically intended the result of the crime—namely taking property with the intent to permanently deprive. In order to be convicted of any crime, the prosecution must prove that the defendant’s actions satisfy all the elements of the crime. The elements of the crime are the specific acts, step-by-step that make up the crime itself. Identity Theft  By : Darren K Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Victims come from all walks of life - from everyday people to celebrities. Identity theft involves acquiring key pieces of someone's identifying information, such as name, address, and date of birth, bank account numbers, health insurance identification number, social security number and mother's maiden name, in order to impersonate them. Grand Theft Auto  By : Darren K Grand theft of an automobile occurs when someone takes another person’s car without permission, with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. Grand theft requires that the property stolen have a value over $400. Grand theft auto is a felony, punishable with imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, 2, or 3 years. Grand Theft  By : Darren K Grand theft involves the theft of goods or services valued above $400 and may be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year. A felony is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison. Generally, grand theft is usually punishable up to one year in the county jail or a maximum sentence of 16 months, 2, or 3 years in state prison. [1] [2] [3]	Authors Sign Up for a free account.
