PUL342: Criminal Law II

One of the aims of criminal law is the protection of property. The protection comes in different ways and one of this is through the offence of stealing. The law therefore makes it an offence for you to take a property belonging to another person without the person’s consent given freely. The offence of stealing is one that is frowned at in all parts of the world, including Nigeria and constitutes an offence in all jurisdictions. Apart from being a crime, stealing is an act that is viewed as morally wrong. Thus, both the Criminal Code (CC) and the Penal Code (PC) criminalizes the act of stealing.
