Theft is the crime of taking another persons property without consent or authorization. There are many types of theft, including: robbery, burglary, identity theft, credit card theft, shoplifting, and carjacking. Punishments for theft convictions may involve jail time, restitution (repayment of stolen property's value), fines, probation, and court ordered treatment.

A white collar crime is a criminal act that occurs within a business, corporate, or company setting. These crimes tend to involve the theft of large sums of money and are committed by people who are within prominent positions.
