Robbery generally involves taking another person's property against their will through the use or threat of force. Robbery-related offenses may include strong-arm robbery, armed robbery, attempted robbery, and carjacking, each carrying serious criminal penalties.

Home invasion is a serious felony offense that generally involves unlawfully entering an occupied residence while using or threatening force against the occupants. Because these cases often involve allegations of violence or the potential for harm, convictions can carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.

Burglary involves unlawfully entering or remaining in a structure with the intent to commit a criminal offense, such as theft or another felony. Because burglary is a serious felony offense, a conviction can result in substantial prison time, significant fines, and other lasting consequences.

Petty theft generally involves unlawfully taking another person's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. Common examples include shoplifting and the theft of low-value property. While often considered a less serious theft offense, a conviction can still result in fines, probation, a criminal record, and other lasting consequences.

Larceny involves unlawfully taking another person's property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. Depending on the value of the property involved, larceny offenses may be charged as either petty larceny or grand larceny, with more serious charges carrying significantly greater penalties.

Grand theft involves unlawfully taking another person's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of it. Because it is a felony offense, a grand theft conviction can carry significant penalties, including imprisonment, fines, and a permanent criminal record. The severity of the charge generally depends on the value of the property involved and the specific circumstances of the case.
