object offense

Read a random definition: executed note

A quick definition of object offense:

An object offense is when someone breaks the law by taking something that doesn't belong to them. This can include different types of crimes like stealing. Sometimes, if a crime is very similar to another one, it's called an allied offense. In English law, an arrestable offense is one that can result in imprisonment for up to five years.

A more thorough explanation:

An object offense is a violation of the law, also known as a criminal offense or crime. It can range from minor offenses to serious felonies. The term "offense" is often used interchangeably with "crime" or "criminal offense."

  • Acquisitive offense: This refers to crimes that involve the unlawful appropriation of someone else's property, such as theft or larceny.
  • Allied offense: This is a crime that has elements similar to another crime, and committing one automatically means committing the other. For example, burglary and theft are allied offenses.
  • Anticipatory offense: This refers to inchoate offenses, which are crimes that involve preparing to commit a crime, such as conspiracy or attempt.
  • Arrestable offense: In English law, this is an offense for which the punishment is fixed by law or for which a statute authorizes imprisonment for five years or more. This category was created in 1967 and abolished the traditional distinction between felonies and misdemeanors.

These examples illustrate the different types of object offenses that can occur. They show that object offenses can range from theft to conspiracy and can have varying levels of severity. It is important to understand the different types of object offenses to prevent and address criminal activity.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
