Crimes against persons in Wisconsin fall into three groups; which of the following is one of them?

• A. Crimes against life and bodily security (940)
• B. Crimes against property
• C. Crimes against wildlife
• D. Crimes against finance

Answer: (A)

Crimes against persons are categorized by the type of harm to individuals, and one of the defined groups is crimes against life and bodily security. This group is laid out in Chapter 940 of the Wisconsin Statutes and covers offenses that threaten or injure life or the body—things like homicide, assault, and similar acts. That’s why choosing “Crimes against life and bodily security (940)” is correct: it directly reflects how Wisconsin organizes offenses against people. The other options refer to areas outside this grouping—property crimes form a separate category, wildlife offenses are handled under wildlife statutes, and finance-related crimes aren’t a standard group within crimes against persons.
