1.) Select ONE Crime Against Property (ie. Burglary, Arson, Larceny, Embezzlement, Fraud, Robbery, etc.)
2.) Research a state and its statute concerning a Crime against Property and explain the elements needed to prove the case
(I am choosing the state of Texas)
3.) Research the historical common law for that crime and explain the elements. (Texas)
4.) Based on your research, compare the state criminal statute with the historical common law to see how the elements of the crime have evolved.
Discuss possible reasons for the changes in the elements, how the interaction of criminal justice agencies and the law may have contributed to these changes, and suggest new changes in the statute, based on societys needs today.
Thank you kindly for your help! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. 🙂
