Abstract This chapter includes information on typical crimes experienced by religious institutions. Crimes are categorized as financial, crimes against persons, crimes against property, and hate crimes. Financial crimes, often committed by insiders who have access to financial instruments, include embezzlement, skimming, and larceny. Fraud and financial scams are financial crimes that can be perpetrated by insider or outsiders. Crimes against persons include sexual assault, robbery, assault and battery, and homicide. Property crimes include arson, vandalism, bombing, theft, and burglary. Hate crimes can involve any single or combination of the previous methods. The difference is that the motive is an attack on the religious institution for ideological reasons and not financial gain. Methods for crime prevention and reducing vulnerability for each of those types of crime are detailed. Procedures for handling the finances of a religious institution are also detailed as methods for limiting exposure to financial mismanagement.
