Which of the following is NOT one of the three different types of crime?

Acquisitive
Environmental
Crimes against the person
Crimes against society

The correct answer is: Environmental

The classification of crime typically includes three primary types: acquisitive crimes, crimes against the person, and crimes against society. Acquisitive crimes involve the theft or gaining of property, crimes against the person refer to offenses that directly harm individuals, such as assault or murder, and crimes against society encompass acts that are deemed harmful to social order or public safety, such as drug offenses or vandalism. Environmental crime, on the other hand, while an important category in modern discussions of criminal behavior, is not traditionally considered one of the three main types of crime. This classification primarily focuses on the intent and impact on individuals and society, rather than the environmental factors. Understanding these classifications helps in identifying the motives and implications of crimes, as well as shaping the approach for prevention and enforcement strategies in law enforcement.
