Abstract
Theft is one of the most common crimes that infringe upon personal property, and it has been extensively addressed in the Iraqi Penal Code. This research examines theft as a criminal act, comparing its treatment in Iraqi law with that in other legal systems. It delves into the essential elements of the crime, the various forms of theft, aggravating factors that enhance its seriousness, and the penalties prescribed under Iraqi law and The Importance of Addressing Theft Wealth plays a crucial role in human life, as it supports daily living and serves as a measure of personal and societal progress. Theft, therefore, represents a significant violation of individuals’ rights and property. While there are legitimate ways to acquire wealth, such as employment, trade, or inheritance, theft is among the illegitimate means condemned by all moral, religious, and legal systems. Iraqi law has categorized theft as a property crime, with varying degrees of severity depending on the circumstances and intent , Defining Theft and Its Nature The research begins by defining theft linguistically and legally. Linguistically, theft refers to the secretive taking of another’s property. Legally, Iraqi law defines theft as “the intentional misappropriation of movable property owned by another.” Unlike fraud or breach of trust, theft involves the direct removal of property from its owner’s possession without consent. Fraud entails deceit, and breach of trust involves the misuse of property handed over voluntary , and the Conclusion of The research concludes that theft is a crime deeply rooted in intentional misconduct. Iraqi law provides a clear framework for distinguishing between simple and aggravated theft based on intent and circumstances. Simple theft, involving minimal harm, is punished less severely, while aggravated theft involving violence, deception, or exploitation attracts harsher penalties by analyzing the provisions of the Iraqi Penal Code, this research provides valuable insights into how theft is addressed legally and offers practical recommendations for improving legal enforcement and deterrence
