Property and Violent

There are two types of crimes: property crimes and violent crimes.  Property crimes involve the taking of money or property or destroying property.  Violent crimes are when an offender uses or threatens to use violent force on the victim. I enter property crimes including shoplifting, theft, and criminal damages into program B.  Criminal damages are the hardest cases to enter into program B, but surprisingly I found them the most interesting.  They can get confusing because there are five types of criminal damage including criminal damage of a vehicle, of a residential property, of a commercial property, graffiti, and with domestic violence.  Criminal damages, as in all property cases, can turn violent; however, I strictly enter property crimes into program B.  The only time I deal with violent crimes is when we get detective requests.
