Common and economic crimes represent two major categories of criminal offenses that significantly impact society. Common crimes typically involve acts of physical harm or threat to individuals or property, such as theft, assault, robbery, murder, and rape. They are often motivated by personal gain, violence, or revenge. On the other hand, economic crimes refer to non-violent, financially motivated offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, corruption, tax evasion, money laundering, and insider trading. These crimes often involve abuse of trust or authority and can undermine public institutions and economic stability. Understanding both types of crimes is essential for developing effective prevention strategies, strengthening justice systems, and promoting accountability and rule of law in society.
