Which of the following best describes volume crime?

Involves serious violence or financial gain
Any crime affecting community safety
Collaborative crime requiring multiple agencies
Indictable offences with extensive injuries

The correct answer is: Any crime affecting community safety

Volume crime refers to criminal offenses that are typically common and have a significant impact on community safety, such as theft, vandalism, and minor assaults. These offenses often occur frequently and can affect a large number of people, which is why they are characterized as volume crimes. This choice appropriately captures the essence of volume crime by emphasizing its effect on community safety and its prevalence. Volume crimes can lead to an increased feeling of insecurity in communities and often require police resources to address effectively. The other choices do not align with the definition of volume crime. Serious violence or financial gain relates more to severe crimes, collaborative crime implies the necessity of multiple agencies for its execution, and indictable offenses with extensive injuries focus on serious offenses rather than the frequency and prevalence that define volume crime.
