THE CONCEPT OF THEFT OF ANOTHER’S PROPERTY AND ITS FEATURES

Abstract

This article analyzes the concept of theft of other people’s property. Analyzing the views of researchers on the concept and signs of theft, suggestions and recommendations for improving the concept are provided. Moreover, according to the article, the words “to take”, “to take away” can be used for the types of theft such as robbery, stealing, fraud, or larceny; but for extortion and embezzlement, it is not suitable to use these words. Because extortion can be committed by putting the victim in a situation that forces him to give up his property or the right to property, and embezzlement can be committed by giving the property to others without taking it. The owner entrusts the property to the perpetrator of misappropriation or embezzlement, therefore the perpetrator cannot take the property himself, but he can illegally take it out of the control of the owner and use it for his own purposes (in case of appropriation) or in the interests of other persons (embezzlement). The article also argues that partial reimbursement of the value of the stolen property does not exclude the existence of a sign of theft.
