Term
How the code is categorized ( long answere, dont memorize just know this
Definition
Part of this systematic approach to creating and defining offenses is to organize
offenses conceptually—offenses against the person, offenses against property, etc.—and
within each general group to organize offences into related subcategories. Offenses
against the person, for example, are organized into four articles: homicide (§ 210),
assault, endangerment, and threats (§ 211), kidnapping and related offenses (§ 212), and
sexual offenses (§ 213). Such conceptual grouping makes it easier to see, and to avoid,
overlaps among offenses and unwarranted grading disparities. It also makes it easier for a
code user to find the relevant offense. And, when the relevant offense is found, such
grouping insures the user that related offense are nearby, not hidden in a dark corner
elsewhere in the Code.
