The breaking and entering the house of another in the night-time, with intent to commit a felony therein,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I had not realized “burglary” was defined as occurring solely at night. So if people are gone from their homes during the day and bad people go in and take things, it is robbery, not burglary? Yet if people are home and the house is broken into, it is then - whether day or night? - then a “hot burglary?”

The Law and its distinctions is so interesting.

That “at night” defintion is the old common law. Burglary is viewed as breaking and entering at any time. Distinguished from robbery which inevitably and must involve a face-to-face confrontation.

burglary” was defined as occurring solely at night.

It's not. At least in Calif. Burglary, off the top of my head is the entering of any building, structure or vehicle with the intent to commit a crime. Day or night. Home or business.

ANY crime. Misdemeanor or felony. Intent is the key. "Breaking" is not an element of the crime. Just the entering. If you can prove that a person entered a store with the intent to shoplift, for example, they can be convicted of burglary. For example, having a very large purse that is totally empty can be interpreted at intent. Statements can be evidence of intent.

At least in California. I'm not sure of the definition of burglary in other states. Burglary is not a "crime of violence" in and of itself. One can enter a building with intent to commit violence, in which case, if violence is committed I assume burglary would be a lesser and included offense along with the violent crime itself.

Robbery, of course, is the taking of property from a PERSON using force or the fear of force. I would define robbery as an act of violence.
