Which of the following is NOT a crime against property?

The answer identifies assault as the correct choice because assault is categorized as a crime against the person, rather than a crime against property. Crimes against property typically involve offenses that damage, interfere with, or deprive a person of their property rights.

Robbery involves taking someone's property through force or threat of force, which has a direct impact on property but is fundamentally linked to personal safety. Mischief refers to the intentional destruction of or damage to property, directly impacting the owner's rights over their property. Break and enter involves illegally entering a building with the intent to commit a crime, usually theft, which again clearly targets property.

In contrast, assault involves causing physical harm or the threat of harm to an individual, focusing on personal safety and bodily integrity, hence making it distinct from crimes that primarily involve property.
