Certainly! Here are the best descriptions for each type of crime:

  1. Statutory crimes: Crimes that violate specific statutes or regulations enacted by a legislative body (e.g., underage drinking, selling alcohol to minors).

  2. Inchoate crimes: Crimes that are incomplete or unfinished, such as conspiracy or attempted murder, where the criminal intent is present but the crime has not been fully carried out.

  3. Personal crimes: Crimes that directly harm or threaten harm to individuals, such as assault, robbery, or homicide.

  4. Property crimes: Crimes that involve the illegal taking or destruction of someone else's property, such as burglary, theft, or vandalism.

You can match them as follows:

  • Statutory crimes: Crimes violating specific regulations (e.g., underage drinking).

  • Inchoate crimes: Unfinished crimes (e.g., conspiracy or attempt).

  • Personal crimes: Direct harm to individuals (e.g., assault).

  • Property crimes: Theft or destruction of property (e.g., burglary).
