Property Crimes

Famous quotes containing the words property and/or crimes:

“No man is by nature the property of another. The defendant is, therefore, by nature free.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“Crimes increase as education, opportunity, and property decrease. Whatever spreads ignorance, poverty and, discontent causes crime.... Criminals have their own responsibility, their own share of guilt, but they are merely the hand.... Whoever interferes with equal rights and equal opportunities is in some ... real degree, responsible for the crimes committed in the community.”
