Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Answer
Crimes against persons involve direct harm or the threat of harm to individuals, like assault or murder. Similarly, crimes against property involve harm to someone’s belongings rather than their physical self. So, if we think of violent crimes as those that affect people, we can compare property crimes to non-violent crimes that focus on stealing or damaging things. For example, when someone breaks into a house to steal a TV, that’s a crime against property. In this way, just as violent crime affects people directly, property crime affects people through their possessions.
Detailed Explanation
Burglary is a crime where someone breaks into a place to steal things. Other options are incorrect because Theft is stealing, but it doesn't always involve breaking in; White-collar crime involves cheating or fraud, not directly harming property.
