Types of Specific Intent Crimes

Let’s look at 10 most common specific intent crimes:

Assault

In criminal law, assault can be defined as an act in which no person shall knowingly cause or attempt to cause physical harm to another. For example, if John punches a guy at a bar because the guy won’t give John his seat back, John will likely be charged with assault because he specifically intended to cause physical harm to the other guy by punching him.

Attempt

Attempt is a crime that requires an act, done with the specific intent to commit a crime that falls short of completing the actual crime. An attempt crime can be charged with just about any other crime. For example, attempt crimes include attempted murder, attempted burglary, attempted kidnapping, attempted assault, attempted robbery, etc.

For example, if John shoots a gun at Matt multiple times while yelling "I want to kill you," but never hits Matt, John would likely be charged with attempted murder.

Burglary

At common law, burglary is defined as the breaking and entering into the place of another with the intent to commit a felony within that place. So, common law burglary requires the specific intent to commit a felony within that place.

For example, if John opens a window to a house, enters the house, and steals a TV without the permission of the homeowner, John has committed burglary.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy is a crime that requires some type of agreement between at least two individuals with the specific intent to both enter into the agreement and to achieve a certain goal of the agreement. In other words, two or more individuals must agree to commit some crime and take some concrete step in carrying out the crime. For example, if John and Ted agree to rob a bank, and John goes and buys masks for the robbery and Ted picks up John and drives him to the bank with the intent to rob the bank – they are both guilty of conspiracy to rob the bank (even before either of them enters the bank).

Embezzlement

Embezzlement is the fraudulent conversion of the personal property of another individual by a person who is in lawful possession of that property. This crime requires the specific intent to defraud another individual. For example, if John agrees to watch Matt’s bike while he is on vacation, then sells it to someone without Matt’s consent, John is guilty of embezzlement.
