Though basic crimes like crime against human body, c some of crime related to women are same but in case crime against women there are new insertion of sections and amendments. In case of crime against property Theft was crime in 1860 and it is also crime present law. But definition and scope of theft expanded under Bhartiya Naya Sanhita as because offender uses new kind of tricks for escapism from IPC. To stop this escapism from law scope and definition of theft expanded under Bhartiya Naya Reduction crime is only to strong implementation of law public awareness regarding crime punishment and compensation.
