Predisposition Model - Moving Beyond a SImplistic Cause and Effect Understanding
* "Common Cause" - both druge use and criminal bahavior as a result - relationship b/w drugs use and crime is spurious - Both are related to a 3rd variable * Subcultural explanations - street drug subculture tends to encourage both drug use and crim * Evaluation of "common cause" and subcultural explanations
Vandalism
* Also called malicious mischief * Intentional or wanton damage * To real or personal property * Of another * No limit on the means of causing the damage or on the type of property targeted * Penalties usually depend on the amount of damage
Ownership (arson)
* Building must belong to another * Exception: Owner causes fire in an effort to defraud an insurance company or lienholder or if another person has an interest in the building then the owner can be charged with arson on his or her own property because they have deprived the insurance company or the lienholder of their interest in the building
Ownership
* Burglarized structure must belong to another * Exception: Defendant shares the right to enter the structure with another * If a protective order or other order is place prohibiting the Defendant from going back to the residence he shared with another (i.e. DV situation), then the Defendant can be charged with burglary especially if the Defendant entered the residence with the intent to commit a felony and/or theft therein
Burglary as an Inchoate Crime
* Burglary can sometimes be a preliminary step to another crime * Once the privacy rights of an individual have been violated with an intrusion, the crime of burglary is complete * Some jurisdictions have debated whether burglary should be considered as an element in another offense or as an aggravating factor for another offense rather than a separate crime
Elements of Arson
* Burning (includes exploding) * Requires that the fire start and cause damage to the structure * Some states use damage caused by fire and sets fire to in their statutes * There must be a change to the structure due to the fire that can be seen * Property * Includes dwelling house and commercial and public buildings, bridges, etc. * Often classified according to the value or use of the property that is damaged

Burglary
* Common Law * Intrusion into a secure place was considered a burglary * Definition was narrowed in the 17th century by Sir Edward Coke (English jurist) * "A felon that in the NIGHT breaketh and entereth into the mansion house of another, with the intent to kill some reasonable creature, or to commit some other felony within the same whether his felonious intent be executed or not"
Entering
* Entry = process of going into the private area of a structure (home, professional building, etc.) after the access has been gained by breaking * Can be ever so slight * Includes surreptitiously remaining (entering an area lawfully but staying beyond a lawful time without permission) i.e. staying inside of store until it closes
Mens Rea (Arson)

Structure
* Type of structure can vary and it is likely to affect the degree of the charge * Attached garage has been considered a dwelling for purposes of burglary * Many states include any structure or building and even vehicles * Many states may allow more severe penalties for entering a car or stealing a jacket from the car * In GA, this is a separate charge -Entering Auto * Most states now also include abandoned building

Detecting forgeries
Freehand forgeries are the easiest to detect. Simulation forgeries are also easy to detect for a number of reasons: It is very difficult to copy someone else's handwriting The style will not be as fluid because the writing does not come naturally The forged writing will show tremors, hesitations and other variations in letter quality that 'comfortable' handwriting would have. Traced forgeries and lifts are easy enough to detect but the identify of the forger cannot be easily determined.
Freehand
Freehand forgeries are written with no knowledge of the appearance of the original, just writing off the top of your head and passing it off as something else.

Document Analysis
Gathering information used in a formed document
Bailee & "Breaking Bulk"
Generally, a bailee has possession. If, however, she opens closed containers in which the property has been placed by the bailor (i.e., she "breaks bulk"), the possession is regarded by use of a fiction as returning to the bailor. If a bailee misappropriates property after breaking bulk, she takes it from the possession of the bailor and is guilty of larceny if she has the intent to steal.
Breaking Bulk Doctrine
Generally, a common carrier who takes the entire packaged goods is guilty of embezzlement. However, if the carrier who breaks into the shipment and takes only part of it, the defendant would be guilty of larceny.
Intent to Permanently Deprive (State of Mind Required)
Generally, larceny requires that at the time of the taking the defendant must have the intent to permanently deprive the person from whom the property is taken of his interest in the property. The intent has to exist at the moment of the taking of the property.

Victim's Mistake.

The victim mistakenly things the defendant paid with a $10 bill instead.
Abandonment of Property

Pawning Property
If the defendant takes the property to a pawn shop intended to return it to the victim or the victim retrieves his property back from the pawnshop, the defendant is liable if he created a SUBSTANTIAL RISK that the owner will lose his or her property, if so, the intent to permanently deprive will be satisfied.

Must be causal link between violence or threats of violence and the acquisition of the property. Usually violence or threats of violence precede the acquisition of the property.. If there is such a close connection between the theft and the violence that these can be seen as connecting components of one and the same course of action, robbery may, according to this decision, be committed, even though the violence does not precede the taking of the property.
