Summary/Abstract: Property crimes represent a type of criminal offense that endangers the (illegally appropriated or damaged) property rights of citizens and other legal entities and belong to the type of classic (general) criminality. In terms of scope, this is the most frequent type of crime, but at the same time, while also being the delinquency type with the highest degree of professionalization. The main motive for committing a large number of criminal offenses against property is to obtain property benefits for oneself or someone else. In this paper, the types of property crimes, namely classic crimes, crimes with elements of physical violence, fraudulent crimes, and crimes without a motive of self-interest are analyzed separately, as types of property crimes. Special emphasis is placed on the typical features of property crime, namely: scale, perpetrator anonymity, traces, and the perpetrators of criminal acts themselves. Property crimes with an element of physical violence are among the most serious forms of property crimes where physical force and threats to the victim are the basis of the methods and means of committing the crime. They include the following crimes: robbery, theft, extortion and blackmail. Property crime is a big problem and as such transcends national borders, disrupting the economic, social, and cultural development of society.
