What types of crimes are there? Crimes occur against people or against property. The FBI categorizes crimes as violent crimes or as property offenses; the difference is force or threat of force. Some crimes are workplace crimes, including white-collar, consumer, and occupational crimes, which benefit the individual. Organizational crimes benefit an organization as a whole. Cybercrimes use the Internet, either for personal gain or to cause trouble, as with viruses. Crimes are classified as hate crimes when the act was motivated by bias based on one’s social group membership.
