Burglary and Trespass

Burglary is defined by the law as entering a building without permission with the intent to commit a crime. Burglary is one of the most adaptable criminal offenses. Some jurisdictions define burglary based on the time the offender breaks into the building, others classify it based on the kind of building the offender broke into, and others classify the offense of burglary into different forms, with each form having a different penalty based on the gravity of the offense.

For instance, some jurisdictions in the United States classify burglary as a felony of the first degree if the offender broke into a building that could have accommodated him overnight. In every other case, burglary is classified as a second-degree felony.

Criminal trespass, on the other hand, refers to the act of entering a building without the authorization of the owner or occupant and remaining in such a building against their will. Criminal trespass is also a felony of the second or third-degree based on the kind of force used to enter or remain in the building.
