Instant Crime

Instant Crime -Are those are committed the shortest possible time. Most classifications
of crime turn on the seriousness of the act. In general, seriousness is defined by the
nature or duration of the punishment set out in the statute. A felony is a crime
punishable (usually) by imprisonment of more than one year or by death. (Crimes
punishable by death are sometimes known as capital crimes; they are increasingly rare
in the United States.) The major felonies include murder, rape, kidnapping, armed
robbery, embezzlement, insider trading, fraud, and racketeering. All other crimes are
usually known as misdemeanors, petty offenses, or infractions. Another way of viewing
crimes is by the type of social harm the statute is intended to prevent or deter, such as
offenses against the person, offenses against property, and white-collar crime
An "instantaneous" crime is one which is fully consummated or completed in and by a
single act (such as arson or murder) as distinguished from one which involves a series
or repetition of acts
 Episodic Crime
EPISODIC AND INSTANT CRIME Episodic Crime -Are serial crimes, they are
committed by series of act within a lengthy space of time. Instant Crime -Are those are
committed the shortest possible time.
Episodic crimes , are crimes that has long process .
Example:
Kidnapping
In criminal law, kidnapping is the unlawful confinement of a person against their will,
often including transportation/asportation. The asportation and abduction element is
typically but not necessarily conducted by means of force or fear: the perpetrator may
use a weapon to force the victim into a vehicle, but it is still kidnapping if the victim is
enticed to enter the vehicle willingly (e.g. in the belief that it is a taxicab).
Kidnapping may be done to demand for ransom in exchange for releasing the victim, or
for other illegal purposes. Kidnapping can be accompanied by bodily injury which
elevates the crime to aggravated kidnapping.Kidnapping of a child is known as child
abduction, which is a separate legal category.
Pyramiding Scam
A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent and unsustainable investment pitch that relies on
promising unrealistic returns from imaginary investments. The early investors actually
get paid those big returns, which leads them to recommend the scheme to others.
Investors' returns are paid out of the new money flowing in. Eventually, no new
investors can be found and the pyramid collapses.
In a variation of the pyramid scheme, investors at each level charge initiation fees that
are paid by the next layer of investors. A portion of those fees is paid on to those in the
top layers of the pyramid. Eventually, no one is left to recruit. The pyramid collapses.

A larger problem is that the show is neither here nor there, caught between serialized,
high-concept idiosyncrasy — the specialty of its creator, Bryan Fuller ("Wonderfalls,"
"Pushing Daisies") — and the formulas of episodic crime drama.
Static Crime
Static and Continuing Crimes - Static crimes are crimes that are committed only in one
place.
Examples:
Rape
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of
sexual penetration carried out against a person without their consent. The act may be
carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is
incapable of giving valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has
an intellectual disability, or is below the legal age of consent.[1][2] The term rape is
sometimes used interchangeably with the term sexual assault.[
Murder
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse,
especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.[1][2][3] This
state of mind may, depending upon the jurisdiction, distinguish murder from other forms
of unlawful homicide, such as manslaughter. Manslaughter is killing committed in the
absence of malice,[note 1] brought about by reasonable provocation, or diminished
capacity. Involuntary manslaughter, where it is recognized, is a killing that lacks all but
the most attenuated guilty intent, recklessness.

Most societies consider murder to be an extremely serious crime, and thus that a
person convicted of murder should receive harsh punishments for the purposes of
retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, or incapacitation. In most countries, a person
convicted of murder generally faces a long-term prison sentence, a life sentence, or
capital punishment
Robbery
The defining characteristic that differentiates robbery from burglary is that robbery
involves an individual or individuals attempting to steal another’s property by seizing the
property by force threat of force or violence, directly from the victim. Burglary may result
in the deprivation of the same property, but not taken directly from a person, or by using
force or violence toward a person. The degrees of robbery differ between states, as
does the specific definition.
 Continuing crime
Continuing crime are crimes that are committed in several places.
Examples:
serial murder, also called serial killing, the unlawful homicide of at least two people
carried out by the same person (or persons) in separate events occurring at different
times. Although this definition is widely accepted, the crime is not formally recognized in
any legal code, including that of the United States. Serial murder is distinguished from
mass murder, in which several victims are murdered at the same time and place.l Killing

Series of Arson
Arson is the crime of willfully and deliberately setting fire to or charring property.
Although the act of arson typically involves buildings, the term can also refer to the
intentional burning of other things, such as motor vehicles, watercraft, or forests. The
crime is typically classified as a felony, with instances involving a greater degree of risk
to human life or property carrying a stricter penalty. Arson which results in death can be
further prosecuted as manslaughter or murder. A common motive for arson is to commit
insurance fraud.[1][2][3] In such cases, a person destroys their own property by burning
it and then lies about the cause in order to collect against their insurance policy.
