What’s the difference between larceny, burglary, and robbery?

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, larceny is the unlawful taking of personal property with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it permanently; burglary is the act of breaking and entering a dwelling at night to commit a felony (as theft); and robbery is larceny from the person or presence of another by violence or threat.

Would it be possible to publish the entire list of police blotter? I would like to get a better idea of the types of crimes being commited around my neighbor hood. Its hard to get the total picture from such a brief snapshot.

[Also a Beaconite]

Yes, I concur with Beacon Resident. Also, if there are details along with the incident, such as the ethnicity of the offending party, that would be very interesting information. Some people claim that blacks commit crimes disportionate to their population percentage, and it would be nice to have some hard evidence to prove them wrong.

YEs, please publish everything. Beacuse it looks like you are slanting the information to pick on certain nieghborhoods.

I've been looking for a house to buy in Beacon. There's an absolutely beautiful house on the corner of South and Center Street. I have been told by three separate individuals that I can't move there and that the area isn't safe. I'm wondering what your opinion is.

Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make them.so Pursue your object, be it what it will, steadily and indefatigably.
